Oh be still my beating heart!!
An expression to bring desire to any vintage Breitling lover - original 765 AVI.
You have a very fine watch sir, and you must immediately restore it to full working order
There's some information on these watches here - http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=112, and in all seriousness it does deserve a service to bring it back to working order - can't comment on whether a restoration is needed without seeing it (pictures would be great).
In terms of value, well assuming that you have it serviced and bring it back to good condition then you are probably looking at something around $4,500 for a 1960s piece which is what I am assuming as you said that you have had it since 1965 - earlier ones are worth more - an early to mid 50s example sold for over $7,000 a few months ago.
