The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I noticed Fred's post of a vendor who has not been delivering top notch goods of late. Well Fred, this one is for you.

For those wondering, $8500. Bain is known to haggle.

This is timeless elegance. Now if they make something like this today, you would be looking at a future collector piece NOT an SA. Laughable.

Wayne

thanks, Wayne; that piece is really nice.

yes, it is one of the most elegant Breitlings ever produced - hell, for me one of the most beautiful watches of any brand.

But one will have to be enough

Nice, I did get interested in these beauties but got to know the Felsa movement they sport is very unreliable so backed out chasing them. Do the come in only gold plating or yellow/rose gold too?

plated and SS

Thanks Fred, yours is a stunner! Is it easy to get the movement serviced and has it been entirely reliable?

Knew you would appreciate a great watch Fred. Don't see many for sale these days. I agree, one is enough.

Still my favourite Breitling, I so should have bought one a few years ago.

The world time watches are one of my favorite watches and the first Breitling Unitime model is one of the best. I have had mind for a few years and wear it occasionally and it keeps good time (nothing like a modern Breitling but I can afford to be a few seconds late to have the privilege in wearing a wonderful piece of Breitling's history). Unfortunately these watches are going up in price and down in quality on what is being offered. If you have the opportunity, pick one up and think about it later. You'll be happier for doing so. Nevertheless, I would get another one (even the later models) at a fair price. You just enjoy being the custodian of such a lovely time piece.

@dempsey: what a spectacularly beautiful piece !

San. missed yr question: both running perfectly !
