60s Top Time 810

My favourite non-navi style Breitling from the '60s....one of the reasons I was attracted to the TO chrono, the resemblance is striking. Lovely watch you have there.

Thanks again FEAR! You're a rockstar!

I have a 1008 and 801. Still trying to find some life significance to those #s. Add them, divide them by my age, multiple by my daughters age. nope, nothing yet :lol:

1008 is a 337-gonal Number. 1008 is divisible by the number of primes below it.
"Early Indian astronomy divides the kalpa -- the total period within a creation, the day of Brahma, which is part of an infinite cycle -- into 1008 yugas."
1008 Virtue Meditations (not really appropriate for a lawyer)
1008 Pearls of Sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba (perhaps if you're a barrister???)
1008 La Paz is an asteroid. It was discovered by Max Wolf. It was named after La Paz, Bolivia.
In the year 1008 AD Olof, king of Sweden, was baptized by Saint Sigfrid.
In the year 1008 AD Emperor Kazan of Japan died.
In the year 1008 AD King Henry I of France was born.

In the year 801 AD there was an earthquake in France, Germany, and Italy.

Nup, not really inspiring!

Your Top Time sets the bar very high Fred. 8) I may have to order a brown croco now just to feel good about my TO. I like your configuration seeing the two side by side. ...cool pair of Breitlings indeed.

:) I admire your research efforts....I got as far as imagining these numbers on a car number / vanity plate spelling out LOOB BOI.
