A bit funny, I just received this mail from the guy who bought it (not at $ 35 k), with pictures attached. Hi Kurt, I have a very interesting Navitimer from 1955 and wanted to get your expertise on the matter of the movement. It appears to be a Valjoux 72 movement but there's one section that appears to have a 178 stamp? It also has the BOW stamp which suggests 72 movement and overall it looks nothing like the 178. What's your opinion, I picked it up from an authorized Breitling dealer located 1/ town away from the US headquarters in Connecticut. I believe its some type of hybrid as they were moving towards the 178's. Is this a very rare find on my part? / Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com |

If it were not so painful I would be laughing myself. I hate to know what this guy got ripped off for. I really hope that he can get his money back as well but I have a feeling this seller is doing the P.T. Burnum speech with his buddies about know, "That's right boys, a sucker's born ever day"!! Let's pray that is not the case!! Wayne |
