Post subject:  Dodgy Colt Ocean or just an older one?
Hello, I was wondering if somebody could clarify something for me.
In June 2000 I bought a Breitling Colt Ocean from Mappin & Webb, an authorised UK dealer. In all that time it has had one new battery and one service. It runs well and is in perfect condition - even though it's had a bash or two directly on the glass.
I'm not sure though which exact model I have.
It's 38mm wide and has a blue face with large-ish numbers and a date window at 3 o'clock.
Near the bottom of the face it has "500m/1650ft" then underneath it has "coltocean" in a sort of hand-writing style.
Either side of the 6 it has SWISS MADE.
On the back it has A64350 stamped on it.
However, there are differences to pictures of other A64350's that I have seen.
The "coltocean" script has no "e" on the end.
The second hand, though red at the end, has no white blob.
It does not have "chronometre" on the face.

I am very happy with the watch, but remember at the time I was not happy that it was not automatic. But that was my mistake - I should have looked harder :-)
I would now like to buy an automatic but it seems a waste to let this one go to waste :cry:
From a selling point of view it would be nice to know what to advertise and at what price :lol:
Many thanks for any guidance.

I was really worried someone would say that :-)
I'm not good with that kind of thing. I'll see what I can muster ;)

It's a 2000 / 2001 Colt Ocean like this - viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34239

Pricing advice is given in #2 of this section of the FAQs - http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_faq.shtml#8

They do come up every couple of months so you should be able to find some references. One was listed on here last year - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19602

I can't get a clear picture :-( I told you I wasn't good with that kind of thing :-)

Roffensian, that's the one! :-)
Thanks very much for the clarification and the links.
