Breitling Intruder circa 1999/2000. Limited edition of 100 made. Team 2000 is an Austrian flying team. Watch shows some wear but will be sending it to Breitling for a service and general cleanup, whatever it needs. Need a couple of Professional steel links if anyone has extra. Hate to put it on a rubber strap because the bracelet is too small. :cry: Will post an 'after' pic when I get it back.

I paid a reasonable amount primarily due to the condition issues. I've had BUSA service a Pluton before and it was a quite reasonable $275 which included a new movement. There are two on Timezone right now at $1200 & $1500, which I think's a little high but they have been steadily selling for slightly over $1k on Ebay.

I would let mine go for about £600 which is $900 roughly.

A great looing piece. I really like the detail of the Austrian logo on the dial, not all the Limited Editions come out looking that good! The older (PRO I ?) bracelet looks great on that, too, I hope that you succeed in finding links for it!
If you have to get a rubber strap, maybe wait until the new Diver Pro is available. It looks to be a very simple, timeless design which I feel might fit that watch better than the current one.
Definitely one of the most appealing vintage models I have seen. I have to say, I quite like the looks of the wear and tear on the watch, and I imagine once it is cleaned up it will look even better, as it will still retain some of it's "worn" look.
A great find and a great post!
Cheers,
Carl

Had to send the Breitling back to the seller. Watch didn't come with the original box and paperwork as described in the ad. Seller says the watch was sold before and the previous owner didn't return the items and wouldn't answer her emails. Still have the paperwork and box Dave? :? Oh well.
