拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The present Bretling “Top Time” is offered in overall good condition. The case is in good condition with scratches at 5 o’clock and nicks on the bezel. There are other normal signs of wear throughout, commensurate with its age. The case and both chrono pushers are slightly oxidized. Stainless-steel case back with light surface scratches. The dial is nice, clean and original with some spotting from the age as expected for a watch from 1960’s. The luminous accents and hands are reacting to UV light but does not glow for a prolonged period. Unsigned buckle. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. The chronograph is working at the time of cataloguing. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
