Curious as to the value of this vintage Breitling wristwatch manufactured in the 1940's. Serial number is 355019, reference # 123. Watch is ~34mm in diameter with case and crystal in very good condition. Watch hands and dial luminosity are worn and need refinishing, but otherwise dial and hands are in great condition. Runs slightly fast and probably needs maintenance.   | ||

Also, the case is stainless steel. | ||

With that dial, probably under $300... | ||

Does restoration increase value? Thinking about getting it refinished. | ||

If you know of a restorer than knows what they are doing yes. The person that dial that dial wasn't very good! It's still like a $400 watch max, so I would not spend too much money on it. | ||
