sorry to tell you: it is perfectly real one of the earliest watches by the "new" Breitling, 1983 interesting because it carries a transitional logo, resembling the AOPA wings, but with the B logo. |

well, as Dracha says, do not believe what I say because I say it, do your own research. here is the 1985 catalog, have a look a page 5. http://www.breitlingsource.com/books_1985.shtml you will notice that this already carries the new logo all of us know quite well. |

There are many quartz Navitimers from the late '70s/early '80s. http://www.lesmala.net/jean-michel/navitimer/index2.htm Choose Collectors in the left hand column then Quartz Watches at the far right. |

Yes, the new Breitling company produced some iffy watches in early 1980s. Who didn't think the World model ( http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... d_171.html ) was a fake the first time say saw it? |

I actually voted for that World to be the worst Breitling ever in a poll here a few years ago. Ever since Breitling have been trying to change my mind with their new releases. |
