Well to cut a long story short I had two of these previously and sold them both in a short time :oops: But I got offered a NOS Case,bezel and Dial for a Breitling Aerospace for a good price however after finding out there were no rider tabs,screws,crown or Sapphire it became a bit expensive for me to build that watch, In the meantime I bought a complete Tissot Titanium 7 to get the movement out to put in the Aerospace, Now I'm not getting the Aero I'm left wondering what to do with the watch, Should I split it or just keep it or sell it as is ???? Advice please

heres the watch

I'd sell it. That is one FUGLY watch in my opinion! The bracelet looks like a bunch of Y-fronts stitched together!

Unless you like the look of the Tissot it would seem only a couple of options exist:

1. Keep looking for a parted out or "dead" Aerospace ( or other compatible digital quartz display watch you like) and finish what was intended, or

2. Seel the Tissot and cut your losses.

Reminds me a little of a Tag Kirium with some of Tag's funkier bracelets. Sorry, not my thing.
