The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello Breitling collectors and watch friends,

My name is Roel (38) and I'm a watch freak since my dad gave me his old speedy on my 16th birthday;



Since then I was always busy with buying - selling - searching - trading - dreaming about Omega, Rolex and sometimes Panerai.



Breitling? Hmmm no, nothing for me. I liked it on others wrist but not for me. Till a friend offered me this Evolution project;



The watch had serious dammage after a motorcycle crash and the owner (without contacts) had no money for a Breitling service.
Wow... what a big boy?! And steel gold? Hmmmm... Let's give it a try!

First I needed a new dial because the feet on the back were broken;



Movement service (it was a complete mess, all axes were crooked) and a little polish;



And offcourse a thick croco strap;



Now I'm a litte bit hooked, searching for Navitimers all the time...

I hope to make some friends here!

With regards, Roel

Hoi Roel
Welkom

Very nice Chronomat from what I personally think was Breitling's "golden age" you have there. Very nice indeed. Welcome aboard.
