Excellent, more Australians :thumbsup:

Great collection you've got there. I'm liking that Bell & Ross, been looking at them lately myself and I've been quite taken with them. I'm a big Omega fan too.

Anyhow - :welcome:

No kidding? I was looking at the BR 01 but the BR 03 is nice too. PM me the details and how much you want for it, I might be interested, depending on how creative I can be with my finances over the next month or two. :)

I'm about to go interstate and won't be able to post here until Tuesday, by the way, so I probably won't be able respond straight away.

Basic info on this site - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... r_112.html

It's a relatively small watch (38mm) but I like it, and of course the flyback complication is nice.. It's going to be at least 6 years old so you should be looking for evidence of a service or factor the cost of one in ($500 give or take).

The movement is based on the ETA2892.A2 movement which is a platform movement designed to have various complications built onto the basic movement. It's recognised as a high quality base movement.

Can't comment on value relative to the BR I'm afraid because I know nothing of Bell & Ross values - sorry.

thanks for that Roffensian, yeah the watch has just had a service the guy has said.

does Breitling do special markings to know if its been in the service centre?
i know Omega place a red dot from factory for tamper proofing and also place a blue dot to know its been into a service centre for repairs/service.
