Hi there, il like the ref. 2111, see link http://cgi.ebay.it/Breitling-Champion-A ... 5886cd4c37 but in my opinion several things have been changed in this watch, also the price is too high. Do you agree? Can anyone, please, help me and find such a ref. with all its original parts, as the one in the attache pic? Further, how much should i pay for it? thanks in advance lsangio Attachment: breitling ref.2111.jpg

No one can tell you whether your should buy it, but I would want to see movement shots before I even considered it, there could be anything in there. |

Can you/anyone suggest where i can buy one good 2111 piece? thanks a lot Lou |

Chrono seconds hand may be original, the others aren't. Keep your eyes on eBay and Chrono24 for pieces to come up, they are out there. |

Price is high, but then it's being sold by a dealer so there should be room to maneuvre there. Get it below 2,000 Euros and it's better - at least for a dealer price. |

No way to buy under that price  do you think i should ask for its original box and the warranty certificate, for that price? Lou

Lou The price is a little high, but you are buying from a dealer so you will always have to pay more than typical auction pricing - that's the convenience of getting one now rather than waiting. If the box and papers are available they should definitely be included with the sale. |

As much as the watch looks pristine, it will be VERY VERY rare to find original box and papers for a watch this age... So far I've only seen one with the ORIGINAL box and papers and tags with a watch from a similar era... a 765 copilot awhile back that sold for 8k...

Why not wait and find an AOPA signed dial?   The black dial does look nice on the 2111 you are considering....
