So my uncle obtained this in the early 60's and it suffered a crack to the glass, so it had its strap removed and was placed in a box with other high quality watches. He passed away in the early 80's. This watch was discovered in the early part of this year when my aunt passed away with all the jewellery and watches being left to my mother. My mother sent the watches to a local auction house. All the watches sold with the exception of the Breitling that didn't make the reserve of £1900.
I posted on here a while back asking for advice, which I greatly received and this allowed me to make decision on the watches future..I sent the watch to a specialist high end watchmaker for an estimate.
I authorised the work and had it serviced, a new glass, Mainspring, ultrasonic clean and a re-lumination of the hands costing 943.80 They also fitted a non Breiting age authentic black strap (Italian leather).
Prices on Chronograph 24 seen to range between £3250 and £4500
I just want to get back for my mother a sensible price which I believe to be £3000
Due to its value I am happy to deliver or meet up within a 150 mile distance of Norfolk
I am No watch expert and appreciate genuine assistance, comments or enquiries
