The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi guys,

First post here, so a hearty greeting to everybody!

As I own a couple of Breitlings (the Lemania 1873 Callisto and a Blackbird), I am on the hunt for a third, and would want to make it a Navitimer.
Having ventured in the realm of vintage pieces, I found a great deal of useful info on AOPA early editions.
Hence, my questions regarding the watch presented in the pictures below (uploading through the forum's interface didn't work so I used an external hosting service, hope it's fine).
These are the seller's pictures, so excuse the quality.

1 - Is the dial and bezel combination correct? From what I've read, early editions with the black sub-dials should have the "beaded" bezel.
2 - The serial number places the watch somewhere in 1967. Having heard of numbering anomalies, is this time-frame correct for this version of the AOPA Navitimer? From the literature, it is implied that at that point the standard model used to have white subdials and was about to change logos.
3 - Anything wrong with the movement? It looks like a Venus 178 and have seen some pictures of it with this kind of micro regulator; also the inscription "WOG" seems correct for the period.
4 - Anything else wrong which I might be missing (besides a good view of the crown, which is not shown in any of the seller's pictures)?

Kind regards,
Costin

No,
Mod to late 60ies, should habe a black/white dial

And the dial on this watch is not even an untouched breitling dialand the sliderulering is not original

Thank you for the fast reply, my thoughts exactly.
Good info on the slideruler, I need to educate myself on those too.

Also, sorry for posting in the wrong section. Moved now, so all good. Cheers!

Youre welcome, and welcome to breitling source

Here is my 67, although the red markings came in in 67 too so you could have those as well

watch is franken - nothing really fits - and the seller might be the least reliable guy on ebay .....

Buddman, your 67 is beautiful!
