hi every one,
Still on my quest for a real correct vintage navitimer, i came across this.
What do you think of?

Any help is much appreciated!

the scorpione piece seems perfectly correct.
1st lacks detailed pics, dial looks like a SuperLuminova service dial from the 90s or later, would want to see pics of movement and caseback.

too much for a book, 220+ chronograph models from the late 1930s to TheEnd in the mid 70s, some with a dozen executions or more over their life span, each execution in several variations.

stay tuned for an online attempt ;)

correct, Dominique, missed that headline. probably an 8808 case finished with a 8806 dial, we see quite a lot of those.

You should do a book. Might help vintage Breitlings get the credit they deserve.

I am sure all your experience will fit in an unique and extraordinary book. I have a name for it too ;)

"Vintage Breitling Encyclopedia" By Fred ... your last name :)

@Mortys: on a side note, John Savelkouls, the owner of Scorpione, is a nice & relaible guy.
