Grabbing pics for for IG again, hope you'll enjoy them too.

some more examples of Breitling the trendsetter - in technology and design; many of my Heuer collector friends could not believe the mid 1970s Heuer Daytona was an almost 1:1 knockoff copy of Breitling's transOceans that had been launched 4 years earlier.

So some Bold Breitlings, a group shot first.

The Breitling transOcean chronographs, cal. 11/12 Chrono-Matic ref. 2119/2129 and the manual wind Valjoux R7740 ref. 7102

And the Bullheads - Breitling named them Pult or Pupitre, automatic cal. 11/12 ref. 2117 and manual wind R7740 ref. 7101.

Fabulous. What I would give to see Breitling bring out a reincarnation of these designs.

I don't know what it is, but, this piece just jumps out at me. I'm going to assume that examples like this don't hit the market often?

not too often in really correct & good condition, but they do come up; just make sure to verify them with us.

compared to the Omega Bullhead also still quite affordable.

only the OEM bracelet is unique, the only one I've ever seen come up for sale, but they look great on calf too.
