Hello, A guy on a french forum showed us some his watches, including an 806 supposingly from 1956. The hands seems in silver, the logo features wings with AOPA letters but there are only 98 beads on the bezel. Is this combination possible and does it fit the date ? Thanks |

Could be just a replaced bezel. Pics are helpful. |

No, just this one. He just precised the watch wasn't his but belongs to the Breitling Museum... I hope it's authentic !  )Besides that, I'd like to know if a 98 beads bezel is logical with this dial... |

Why do you think the dial and bezel don’t go together? |

If the watch belongs to Breitling, it would be great to hear from Fred. Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com |

if this is the piece shown at the Paris Boutique event, it is a 1959, according to Nico from the Museum |
