Was Googling and see what I found, saw my 785 featured on YouTube. Though I din't know the person who advertised it, was very humbling to hear my story of it again. Offcourse without you guys at Breitlingsource, who had a lot to do with me discovering that find and Craig who masterfully serviced it, that wouldn't be a story. Thanks again guys, you'll are the true stars of that story!

thanks, I'd rather not be a star in an Archie video. Didn't know he's Paul Pluta now.

searched Fred, looks like he's been quite a bad boy with his opinion on modern Breitlings and has given you all quite a hard time, thankfully he atleast loves vintage Breitlings! Also saw he's from Australia.

I highly doubt it.

He may have for the two minutes either side of making the video, but he doesn't exactly have a reputation for being consistent (or any other positive quality for that matter).

Lol, judging by the number of posts on him in the modern Breitling section Roff, am sure you'll know him better:)

Thanks Rick, judging by what everyone is saying about the youtube poster, I guess even he couldn't find anything bad to say about the 785 reference, one of my all time favorite references;)

I think I joined a little to late for Archie's posts, but I have been watching his you tube nonsense, I love the Breguet type XX and I think he's talked me out of getting one.

Stunning pictures of the Datora though, well done Cruvon
