Great looking piece! I didn't see it until now, but it's very nice! However, thanks to you and carl I'm pretty sure I've got another Breitling on the way in the next few months, so don't think I'll be getting this one here soon.

carl That's such a lovely piece! I visited a Breitling AD last week and wanted to see it but they didn't have one.

Very cool watch! Vintage divers really grab my attention, what an amazing era it was.

I'm a huge Fortis fan and owner. In fact, a Fortis B-42 Cosmonaut 647.10.11M was my first mechanical Swiss watch purchased when I was 19-20 years old. A lot of unwanted items were listen on eBay for sale which ended up funding the piece, it was a great exercise or lesson.
Either way, I'm glad the brand was rescued and still going strong.

carl Things happen for a reason and this clearly worked out for the better. The Navitimer was great but without a full set it's a deal breaker for me as a collector. In fact, I faced this in the past with my first Omega 2225.80 Chronograph Seamaster Professional. The one I got from Watchfinder had no papers (cards) and it really bothered me for that particular watch. So I traded it with the Explorer II and vintage Seamaster to get my 116710LN which is now discontinued and virtually impossible to get unless you're willing to pay half of what a Royal Oak Offshore would be. Having this one brand new for you is best case scenario. Also, it's something totally new to you despite many years of being a watch enthusiast. Incredibly unique in the best of ways. Breitling is one of my favourites now, it's very likely I'll add another to the collection. It makes me happy to see the excellent contributions they're making in the watch world to help generate an interest in this beloved hobby.

That's a neat watch. Vintage Bulova pieces were something else. Albeit clearly as borrowed style, it's neat nonetheless.

Wow! carl A huge congrats to you on this piece! Something from a great brand with a dial like none other. I highly doubt many pistachio dials were around prior to this (in modern times) and don't think you've owned one yet, so another first.

They look great! I saw one similar to this at an AD Wednesday. Breitling has some great designs.
