| Post subject: | Breitling premier 777 |
Ladies and gentlemen, I am new, actually not even part of, the vintage breitling world but I am ready to get feet wet with this premier 777. I have no experience with this model and cannot definitely find the history and production online. I am looking for some info about the model and whether this is a correct example. They say it's 36mm and I am a little hesitant about the size. My daily wearer is a 40 mm sub but I am hoping to use this as a dressier option Attachment: 46f422a253461ac5539dfad4c6ecef2bf36a3581.jpg Attachment: d3a5cb7463e424165b46b25daf0dd876dd2cec6c.jpg Attachment: c8acb2b5e7ac17cee854d4e48177d9dfb346aa91.jpg Attachment: 608ce62c09925edf57009c455e9f3d6d26f8d9df.jpg Attachment: c31df560b5dddadf9e63422fb5e046b8e7f90904.jpg Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

777 is actually somewhere around 37/38mm and is a massive watch for the era. If you can live with the dial condition on this (which I could) and the price is right, this is a truly awesome watch. |

As long as the dial is not painted or redone I love the fact that it shows that it's age. Do you have an estimate for the year or era? I think it's the 40s right? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

The case date is from 1945. It is all correct (except the crown). |

Appreciate your input immensely. This movement is a Venus 175 correct? Does it have an escapement or is it possible to overwind? How many turns to wind would you recommend? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |
