listed out of France - the first I personally have seen, so documenting this; seems to be in great shape, right out of the 1946 catalog. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370772876155? ... 26_rdc%3D1 interesting to note the serial number is outside the "known range" that ends w/ 692266 in 1946 and starts w/ 703xxx in 47.

Interesting that the ref 771 was evidently recreated under another name later in the early 1950's. Another example of the strange reuse of older cases by Breitling in the 1950's. http://catalog.antiquorum.com/catalog.html?action=load&lotid=286&auctionid=26 |

yeah,, those Aerotels. very nice, though apparently this Antiquorum set were the only produced - the brand was registered by Breitling, but have never seen others resurface ? |

This one from several years ago is the only other one that I recall, and not much of a photo to make a call - http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/ ... ID=4785376. Market clearly thought that it was right. That 771 looks nice! |
