Unhappily there are no pictures of the V7740 in this add. Sinn just re - used Navitimer 7806 components in his Breitling-like early version. Unusual!

I believe that the watch is a correct Sinn that copied the 806. I believe Sinn and Breitling had some sort of connection in the past.

Perfectly correct piece from the post Breitling collapse of 1978. Sinn & O&W pieces with very similar looks.

both the O&W Aviation and the Sinn were actually Breitlings with rebranded dials and casebacks when the parts stock for the Navitimers was sold off to those companies, I think that Albert Weiss is still hoarding some of these parts ?

edit: Roff and I seem to synchronize responses across continents :lol:
