Not a grail at all, but nice (and authentic) 2- or 3-hand Breitling are not too easy to find, saw this one listed out of the US, a ref. no. undocumented in Richter, but it just "felt right". Grabbed it and sent it to Craig for service, days later I found an ad from 1958 depicting the same watch next to a Navitimer. Wears nicely, based on the Peseux 330, thought I´d share

no, it is 35mm, actually quite large for the period, but "wears larger" because of the ratio between the slim case and the dial. quite elegant, actually.

Nice, although I have to admit that there's something in the background of the first photo that I would rather own

ok, that makes three of us. Though, as experience shows, it will be the early dragon that will catch the first reasonably priced worm .... |
