I found this interesting due to the recent post about a brand new looking Navitimer. A French collector contacted me wanting to sell his Twin Jet 806 with large sub dials. It's listed for sale on a few forums. It looks brand new... He said it was sent to Breitling around 2007 for restoration and it came back looking like this ... New old stock tritium service dial ... But since they couldnt handle tritium, the hands are lumed with superluminova.

This may be old news to everyone else but I was not aware Breitling was servicing these watches with NOS T dials so recently?
