Friday afternoon arrivals- two ref. 765 (the white dial from 1946, the black from 1953) and a rather well preserved ref. 810 from 1968.

The black ref. 765 was another example of a botched Breitling Switzerland vintage "restoration", it had Gen. 2 Navitimer hands from the mid 60s, now back to the period correct batons.

Grabbed some pics of these nice Easter eggs, hope you enjoy them.

Just first rate! I love those Top Time. A restored one recently was out up for display locally and did not last more than a day before it was snapped up (wish I could have made it down there before it sold)!
