Dammit, I'm not alone in the Le Mans club any more!!

Welcome aboard! Good to see one of the other 999 Le Mans make an appearance! Obviously I'm hugely biased, but I think the Le Mans is one of the nicest looking Breitlings ever made.

BTW, have you ever seen one of the green dial ones? I've heard they exist but never seen one. As I'm sure you know there were 250 white, 250 black, 250 blue and (apparently) 250 green. Mine is blue and I've seen a couple of blacks and whites, but never a green......

Just found the site, really cool.

Thanks!!

I was living in Irvine and then Foothill Ranch, but recently moved to Palm Desert.

Green, no, I have never seen the green, hmmm, strange.
I didn't even know they made blue. I did see the pic of yours, looks good.
I got mine in Irvine in July 2003.

The one comment about it being big, thats funny,
because when I first put it on in the store, I laughed, because it just felt stupid, it was way to big. I didn't know how rare it was at the time.
I went home, researched it, realized what it was, and was back the next day buying it.
It makes my rolex feel really tiny

I don't remember ever seeing a Green face as one of the options.
At the time, I was just looking at pictures on the Breitling website.
I have never seen the gold one either.


The Bentley Le Mans chronograph is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces.

In addition to the limited series of 1,000 in steel, this collector's chronograph also comes in a yellow gold version, issued in three series of 24 worldwide.

Yeah it's odd. I do know for a fact that there are 250 each in white, black and blue. So what are the other 250??? I heard of green (and not just on here) but it seems no-one's ever seen one! I may call Breitling UK and see if they can shed any light.

LEARNING.......EVERY DAY

Not green, it's something between Bronze and Havana.
There are 3 series of 24 yellow gold pieces, black, white and to me undefined color between Slate Havana Black ( I also think that I saw green one).

(Reference from Sales Handbook 04-05)

Hey that's great information, bnewbie! I've been trying for ages to find out what the other 250 were! Thanks for letting us know.

Is there any chance you could post up a picture of bronze/havana SS Le Mans please? I'd really love to see it, even if it's a photo of the Sales Handbook.
