The Breitling Watch Source Forums

One of my team members just brought this little present for me
The seller didnt want to ship to outside the US so it needed to be shipped the our office in Broomfield CO.
and he handed it over today
very nice size @ 38mm , great dial colour
Next service I want to have the plexi changed to something that will make the outer ring more legible

Great pick up - looks very good on the wrist Rene.

This piece is in beautiful condition, Rene !
great pickup, will look even more wonderful with brown or honey croc !

Thanks Roff ! it wears nice as well, just understated enough and not too small
I really like that its SS , makes it still somewhat a tool watch, and the sides seem to have the original brushed finish
Little spotty on the dial but I expect that with this age

Had that question before, Michael.
Stambu(o)l, Istambu(o)l, Istanbul are all correct for the city, leaving out earlier names like Byzantheum and Constantinople

Thanks. I figured as much. I like the face of this watch quite a lot...I don't know what it is about it?

Dracha, that is way cool. I wish I knew more (actually anything) about vintage watches. So many just seem to jump out at me. Looks great on your wrist too!

Thanks !
and there's a very active vintage section here on Breitlingsource, why dont you join ?
