Hello all - I have for you a 1969 Sprint that I purchased in 2017. The backstory is that I had an amazing time finding, and having this watch restored. Unfortunately, after all the research and money I've put into it, it has never made it into my rotation. I think it is time that it goes to a wrist that is going to love it. It is certainly not in "mint" condition, although it is in pretty remarkable shape, with a full spa treatment in 2017. It looks as though the previous owner had it serviced where they had given it a polish. The hands have the original lume, although when I had it serviced he was very concerned that more would fall out, he offered to re-lume - "NOOO!" I exclaimed, so there's where that stands. There are no gaskets on the pushers because, despite his status as a Breitling repair person, sourcing those gaskets seems to be a challenge. The invoice from the service reads: Overhaul, replace shock spring for balance, mainspring, back gasket and stem. Does not test water resistant. I replaced the strap the previous owner had on it with something that was more period appropriate (not original) with the signed tang buckle. Admittedly, I'm not a regular on Breitling Source, so feel free to message me with inquiries about other references in the watch community. Friends from Redbar Seattle, or others in the Grand Seiko community. I totally understand the "buy the buyer" concept and will do what I can to help you purchase with confidence. In exchange, I would request that payment be by wire only unless we have a mutual friend that we can sort out. The original thread where I pester poor WatchFred in my research, can be found here: https://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=63148 $2850 shipped conus, or $2,950 for ROW (excluding the standard cast of questionable countries.) This price is a break-even price after the service. I am not a dealer or a flipper, so please, no low ball offers. If you want to provide your own label, that is certainly an option to discuss. More pictures in second post below. |
