vintage breitling: did i goof?

hi guys!

on a recent bus trip to milan, i was passing by a window shop and saw about 15 - 20 vintage high end watches 50 + yrs old... including Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Ulysse Nardin, Breitling, Omega, etc

the shop was in a 'non touristy' part of town, in a pretty quiet section of town actually...

i was intrigued...

i went inside to discover that it was actually a service center (therefore, not primarily sales oriented) and the technician there, would buy old watches from his customers and resell

well.... despite not knowing much (i am new to the watch fixation...) ... i took the chance and bought one...

he told me it is a breitling self winding chrongraph from year 1960- also, gave me a 1 yr guarantee of his own

i thought it was beautiful it is much nicer than the pics i'm attaching (not very talented with the camera )

i paid 1200 euro for it (not at all an insignificant amount, for me)

it was totally an impulsive buy

should i regret it? does it look fake? not worth the money i paid? any thoughts???

also, the watch is not keeping time correctly (discovered this when i got back) ... i'm planning to stop by the breitling service center to see what they say... but this has only made me more anxious about the purchase...

thx!
