Hi Zaf,
I had my Breiting Unitime 1765 fully overhauled, repaired and serviced by Horological Services in PA last year.
They replaced the dial with a NOS and the mainspring was also replaced. The hands were vintage relumed and the case was refinished as per original
What's the value of it now?
-Thanks

Please note: Almost ALL the small ladies "cocktail" watches of brands such as Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, etc., with gold trading at record prices are trading at or near scrap.

Re: Vintage Breitling Unitime 1765
If it have a NOS dial, service, etc. maybe around $6000? What are your thoughts?
Re: Vintage Breitling Unitime 1765
That's the ball park figure I was thinking of too but I wasn't sure because in my years of tracking this watch, I had only come across watches that were more "original" than this, condition-wise.
I didn't know how much the overhaul and replaced parts would affect the value of the watch.
Good to know. Thanks!

I think an NOS dial always increases value. A case polish usually decreases it unless there was some real nasty scratch. Nicely lumed hands are a wash.
Re: Vintage Breitling Unitime 1765
Thanks Zaf. I wasn't sure if a NOS dial actually increased or decreased the value since I know how prized original dials are.
