The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi found this forum so thought id post this up so someone can help me with this watch. Its a Breitling Navitimer Geneve 806 the number on the back is 1352816.

My dad wants to sell it and didn't think it was worth anything, but when he told me it was a Breathing i thought, "wait a minute, those are expensive watches" so can someone give me some details on this watch and maybe an approx value. Its currently not working and the glass has scratches on it, ill try and add a pic here to show, any info would be great.

Welcome!

It looks to me a nice standard issue 806 from 1970 in Ok condition. The appearance would improve immensely with a new crystal. They only cost $10 or so, plus the cost of having a watchmaker fit it, but find a good watchmaker to do it, not a chain jeweler in a shopping mall.

Much of what you would ever care to know can be found here:

For values, suggest you look at completed auctions on eBay, assuming the watch is all correct. Lots of 806s for sale through dealers and enthusiasts on-line too will give you the right ballpark.

thanks very much for that link il check it out
