A long lived wish has come true.
On a Dutch watch site this one was offered for a trade or sale.
Watch came without any papers but with the box.

This one dates back to 86/87, the period in which 40mm was considered a big watch. Its the model 81.950.
Previous owner had this one overhauled by a Breitling watchmaker, new hands, new gaskets, adjusted and waterproof tested only a week ago.
It looks like new again.

Nice detail, I just love the date wheel, has the same gold color as the subdials.

This is a definite keeper.

Some Q&D from this afternoon.

Great looks. Easily improved IMO with brown (matching the golden hardware) calf or alligator OEM strap.

Veeery nice indeed.

As others have already said it would look much better on OEM croco strap.
