Hello, Have some of you an idea of where I could find a crown for a 1965 765 AVI, to replace the completely unauthentic one already on the watch ? Thanks |

I would think same size as a Navi would do (6.8m or so). Note that most of the crowns on eBay are not correct - there should be 32 teeth in the crown.

Thanks, Dave. I tried EBay, unsuccessfully... But I was looking for a crown for 765 specifically. I’ll try with crown for Navitimer. Any reference of the same period would fit ? (806, 809) |

(806, 809) I should think so. Same movement and case size almost the same too. It does take a while to find correct crowns these days. Here are a couple. Might want to check the tap size which I think is 11. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Breitling-Re ... SwNotdmy-C https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Breitling-Er ... SwNotdmy-C |

Thanks again ! Does it alter the « value » of the watch to change the crown for non completely authentic ? |
