Hi Guys, could someone enlighten me on the different dial/hand/case variations on the 810? Were there 2 distinct versions? Dates?

I'll let others more knowledgeable expand but this maybe a good start. http://www.breitlingsource.com/books_1969.shtml hentaiboy wrote: Hi Guys, could someone enlighten me on the different dial/hand/case variations on the 810? Were there 2 distinct versions? Dates?

LongPlaying is not a TopTime, but the model replacing it, uses a Valjoux 7736, not a. venus 810. this should show you the dial, hands and case variations of the TopTime 810: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=52706 |

You should, René. both examples shown by the OP are very, very nice, btw. Top Time 810 were launched in 1964, Gen1a cases appeared around 1966 together w/ the new dials, Gen2 cases w/ the massive lugs from 1967 onwards. |

too early, though I'm having my third coffee. Venus 178, of course, in the Top Time 810 |
