Hello all. I have had a few Breitlings in my day. My oldest was a 97 vitesse d13050. I have an opportunity to purchase a Navitimer 806 from the original owner who was a pilot. I was hoping you guys can tell me a little about it. The crown is not original and one of the chrono pushers is missing. It does wind and run. My question is how hard will it be to find the crown and pushers. Is this watch worth the fixing? ImageImageImage

yes, clearly worth the fixing, crowns and pushers aren't easy to find, but they are around.

Ok thank you. Do you think that a purchase price of 1300usd is decent price or will it cost to much to be worth it at the end?
