Thought I'd ask what people thought of this one for my own education. Don't have any money free so not looking to buy it, but always interested in learning more of the finer points on vintage Breitlings.

The usual deteriorating index ring and plating rot along the bottom of the case. Still will sell for over $2k even if it is plated.

Doesn't looks like the hands were originally on that watch, hands have a nice soothing lume shade. Unfortunately the dial lume has gone black/dark green indicating moisture ingress, not my cup of tea!
