Hi and
Slide rule (bezel) should move.
I'm sure that Roff will answer your question about the hand soon.

I'm going to move this to the Vintage section, but to answer your question about the hand.....

You'll be very lucky to find a hand on its own. Repaires with access to parts are not likely to sell them because they need them for their restoration and servicing work.

It sounds like the watch needs a service anyway if the bezel isn't rotating so take it to a watchmaker with Breitling knowledge for servicing / restoration and mention the hand and they should be able to source one for you.

Hi bnewbie,

thank for your answer i'll bring the watch to my clockmaker because i'm afraid that the bezel could be pasted and I don't want make a disaster

for the rest I wait for an help

Hi Roffensian , thanks for the answer

the problem with vintage Breitling in Milan and in Italy in general ,it's that there is from 15th years a new importer ,Tradema, and they don't have old forniture,for the bezel i'll go to check it but I'would like to do all in the same time,so after having found the hand would make it change and take a look to the bezel

The problem is that there is no supply of 'new' old style hands - Breitling doesn't produce them and doesn't have a stock of NOS parts that it makes available. The only way to source genuine ones is either from other watches or from a dealer / repairer who happens to have a supply, and these people are very reluctant to sell because they don't know if / when they will be able to get more.
