I'm the owner of this one. I don't think it's the same one but it's the only other Box 10 I've seen so far.

I'm really hoping someone can help, I'm trying to trace a navitimer 806 that was advertised on here for sale in 2012. It was initially sold by myself on behalf of my brother in law, the person that purchased it then had it fully restored before selling it on, it was then advertised on here very soon afterwards. The reason for trying to trace it, ( and purchasing it if possible ), is, it was originally sold to part fund a trip to Australia for my sister and brother in law to visit their daughter, but unfortunately my sister fell ill and never fully recovered enough to make the trip, sadly she passed away late last year. My brother in law has asked me to try and find the watch as it has sentimental, and personal meaning to him, ( as you can imagine ). I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has any knowledge, or can help in any way to try and locate the watch then I would be very grateful, I'll post a link up to the original advert, which also contains a link to the original restoration thread. Many thanks. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41408&p=303946&hilit=Breitling+navitimer+806#p303946 |

Another bump for this, we've managed to trace the watch a bit further with the help of members of another well known watch forum, but still not actually located the watch. Any help appreciated. |

Unfortunately the last known owner of the watch has moved it on, and at the moment there's no record of where it went, although they are still trying to find out for me. If it jogs anyone's memory, or indeed they spot one that might be this particular watch, then a couple of points to look out for, when the watch was restored it was left with some of the original marks/ageing on the dial, it almost looks like a water mark between 55-65, ( these can actually be seen in the pics via the link above ), also, I've been informed that the bezel itself was slightly oval and as such had a couple of tight spots when rotated through 360. Thanx. |

I know it's a long shot, but just in case someone does come across this watch, or, the new owner becomes a member, then I'm still interested in purchasing it. |
