Congratulations Fred! An absolutely stunning and phenomenal watch. I drool over the one in Richters book every time I see it.

Ok Fred, now I am really going to get Snowden to have the NSA acquire your watches for me. You know a national security thing, nothing personal. Just an amazing piece!!!! I know these watches are all expensive too because you always buy them with an arm attached. LOL!!

thanks, friends. problem is that "Breitling Museum" is a rather tainted name, TheSage had to delete his site, but that virtual Israeli "Museum" is alive and kicking ....

It's really assuring that your VIRTUAL MUSEUM is one I can really trust and feel confident in for accuracy. Glad you helped put the Sage out of business. BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR NEW VENTURE!!!

Fred, I am just beginning to learn about/appreciate the vintage Breitlings. I must say that piece is like nothing I have ever seen!!! Simply beholding!!! Thank you for sharing it, as well as all of your knowledge. :bow:

Fred - you more than anyone should own one of these. How about "Vintage Breitling for Real" as a title. None of this "museum" stuff! Good to see this one again.
