Picked this up a few months ago, but it was in pretty rough shape. Replaced the heavily scratched mineral crystal with sapphire, and had it cleaned, polished and serviced.....

Don't see many around, but I really like it!

(excuse the horrible cell phone pic....)

Yes, 41.5mm. My watchmaker can buy breitling parts (at the same cost as if I sent it in to BUSA), so had him swap the crystals.

It's funny, I never really liked this watch with the black dial, but love the white dial, especially with the gold hands.

Great looking watch. I like anything with a moonphase. Agree that it is much better in white than black. Enjoy!
