Just got this one but not sure it will be staying long. Tough for my old eyes to pick up the hands quickly. Still a pretty cool watch though and my first Moonphase.

1999 Navitmer Montbrillant Eclipse. It is a good looking watch and I really like the way they did the numbers.

I guess you also like the not-too-vintage pieces too huh Paul? :D

Looks sweet~ by the way I saw your Bidynator sell for 420... not too bad of a flip~ and your co-pilot ended at 3k... that price is an insult to a timepiece like that... :lol:

Some can be break even watches like the Unidate with the Bidynator. I had to send it out to get serviced because it was losing a few minutes a day. It's going to Sweden tomorrow. Had to make a little more room for the new stuff. The Copilot; I've got someone that made an offer but he's currently on vacation for a week so we'll see if he takes it or not. Really don't care if I sell that one anyway. Also picked up a Pluton, Navitimer 1806, Headwind, and Chronomat last week. Just waiting for the rest of them to show up. Living nowhere near an AD I have to buy them to determine if I like them. Some stay around a while and some go right back out. :cry: If I had my druthers it would be to keep the Copilot and Navitimer 1806 and sell everything else I have. They are a really good representation of Breitling watches that will never significantly depreciate. Oh, and I can't sell my old Bulova Snorkel which I got as a high school graduation present. :wink:

This is one of the nicest watches that Breitling made at the end of the 90s in my opinion. An unusual movement, stand out arabic numbers and I absolutely love the combination of gold hands on a white dial - a future classic in my mind.

However, I expected a better job of aligning the bezel from you Paul! :wink:

Yeah I knew I'd be hearing from you Roff. I had to check the Chronolog to see where that was supposed to be aligned and changed it after the pic. :)
