You want me to help a Rolex guy! :roll: :shock:

Gee, what is the world coming to :wink:

You probably know from your Rolex knowledge that Incabloc is a 'shock absorber' system for the jewels in the mechanism, and it's been around since the 30s. The name on the face is not always an indication that the movement has incabloc, but Breitling do seem to advertise the fact more than many manufacturers.

I'll need to check the books for something close to this - the hand for the 45 minute register is throwing me off slightly. If you have a model number (likely 4 digits) that would also help.

The serial number dates to 1964.

Yep 332/23 will be the model number - which explains why the hand looked odd - I can't find anything on that specific model, but that's no reason to worry - there are many, many models from this period, and this is definitely right from a design perspective.

As a two register, mid 60s, 45 minute chronograph, I'd have to put pricing in the $800 - $1,000 range - slightly higher if you have records of a recent service.
