Hi,
I saw this watch on sale.
Does anyone knows the history of these Breitling watches?
Thanks

Breitling? I don’t think that is.

Re: Help on watch DPW Breitling
I saw a bunch of DPW over eBay with the Breitling dial. The model would be the 80210. But don’t know much on this to make a call and get one

So this 80210 was Breitling military watches. This model end up as the Colt line.

Re: Help on watch DPW Breitling
As far as I know DPW was a case maker. The watch in the first picture is not a Brietling. At least it has no Breitling markings on the dial.
It’s like calling a Sicura a Breitling, because the company bought up Breitling’s equipment after it went under.

You sure that’s how the watch came originally? It is a Breitling crown and case back. Can’t tell from picture if the movement is stamped Breitling. Why wouldn’t the dial have any Brietling markings?bmsm wrote:Here’s very similar Breitlingbmsm wrote:Yes. Quartz movement.Albatross wrote:Breitling?

I agree.
But Found the same model for sale but with Breitling dial. Maybe the dial was swapped from a colt.
The only marks at that watch are inside the case back and the crown.
