The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I found WatchFred's article on Navitimer bead count on WatchUSeek.
http://forums.watchuseek.com/f39/naviti ... 00896.html

I have also seen mention of a 117 bead bezel. Do these exist as well?

Not that I am aware off but I dont rule anything out
Do you have a pic ?

Sorry. I was hoping this might have been a quick yes or no question.

I saw this forum post from Feb of last year where they mention a 117 bead bezel, but I couldn't tell if you guys thought it was real or not.

This one on eBay just sold and has 117 beads.

I also attached a picture of one I just bought. 871755 serial number. I apologize, I should have added this to the other thread I made about the watch last week.

I count 115 ? , but if you say 117 I will take your word for it ,
so I need to add 117 beads for the 1956 serial range in my 806 bead counting article

The 1957 806 I had (The Crossroads version) was also a 117 bead count bezel so they're out there.

thanks for the confirmation Paul
I'll add the 117 beads for 1956/1957
