The Breitling Watch Source Forums

no, not the hen´s teeth, those are still queuing up, but the "Breitling 8" ref. 734 is back, needed
restoration of the hands and some repairs of a newly - but incompetently - serviced V178.
Impossible to date exactly, but most probably late 30s or very early 40s, that case is quite impeccable.



second is an extremely rare beast from the "funky" late 1960s, part of the TopTime line;
ref. 814, a cushion case with a Venus 178 and a very comfortable Breitling bracelet,
the dial was damaged by humidity, was quite a long search for a replacement, case
still needs a little work.



Thank you Craig, wonderful work, as always.

Wow, beautiful duo Fred, stunning, congrats!

Nice. The 814 is on my short list.

Very nice indeed, I could live with those

Fred I'm jealous. Both are extremely beautiful. Seeing all the fabulous work Craig does I am glad you turned me on to him. I have been using him regularly. Thanks again Fred and Roff!!! And a special thanks to Craig.

Both are wonderful pieces, Fred. Congrats on their return from Craig. I'm looking forward to using his services in the near future.

Craig, your talent is that at first sight restoration is not clearly noticeable... those watches just look pretty well preserved , in few words they are not renewed . I do not appreciate a pimped watch , it is just like a girl with an overfull of botox
