Thanks for looking!!

SOLD THROUGH OTHER VENUES..

Thnaks for looking!!

Very nice looking!

Just a small correction.
I know that both watches are under warranty, but they are not completely the same.
Second one (with the bracelet) could be produced as far as 2002.
First one could be from 2007.

I also notice that, like me, you have a Pro II bracelet fitted to the earlier model which would normally have a Fighter bracelet fitted. Your later model Mission has a strap fitted. Do you have the Fighter bracelet for the earlier version?

Don't know much about watches,but do trust Breitlings' confirmation,

of each serial number and fact they were both mfg'd in 2007...

Maybe you know something they don't,but when put next to each other,

they are identicle..

No,just the bands that you see...

That goes to Breitling, if they said that both watches were made in 2007.
One is A73321 and the other is A73322.
If you look at the Arabic numbers on the dial, it can be seen that they are different.
Removing strap/bracelet from the bottom lugs will show you date code on both watches.

I just noticed,side by side,that 1 does have larger numbers..

I'm not sure why Breitling in CT. would agree w/ the seller,that it was mfg in 2007,

if it wasn't,so i guess i'm confused,but they are both in brand new shape regardless.

It's not a big deal, both watches have the same SQ module and they are overhauled and under warranty.
The only difference is on the dial and in ref#, A73321 was from around 2002 'til 06/07, when A73322 started.

In theory, they can be close in mfg. date which is stamped between bottom lugs, so sometimes I might think first before posting.
Cases are identical, so you can keep both the strap and the bracelet and sell just one head and have the opportunity to switch between them.

GLWS!

Wow!!

You know your stuff my friend!!

I think the fact it was sold as a "2007" might not have meant mfg in 2007,but perhaps

sat w/ dealer for a couple years???

Thank you very much for the help,either way and from here on out,i'll refer to it

as a 2002-2006 as you obviously know more about it in your sleep,than i ever will awake....

Check it for yourself if you want, it can be 2006 as well.
All you need to do is to remove bracelet from the bottom lugs and there you will find stamped date code.

Thank you,but i wouldn't know how to remove that bracelet if my life depended on it..

I did more than think my friend,I spoke to Breitling on several occassions,just for the record..

Carry on...

(FWIW and for general interest, in my experience - UK - when quoted serial nos Breitling UK have given me what I assume is the date of import/distribution rather than of manufacture, ie they've told me that one watch was made in 2010 when the 4-digit stamp was early-09, and another watch was made 2011 when the stamp was mid-2010. Shouldn't be far out though presumably.)
