I have it several years now. It's still a extordinary piece with a gen eta movement inside. That's why there hard to get. I wear it on rotation quite a lot.
It was about 600 box I believe. With box.
The box made it a risk. It got intercepted and a had to declare what was inside. TD told me to say it's a $100 watch. They didn't open it and I only had to pax declaration costs and tax.

I think he means this one here. Which is not the watch you have posted. I had a chub for that piece for months back in 2017-2018. I've even put it into my signature and PM'd some members who I knew had theirs. To no avail. From what one of my TD's told me, the factory somehow got their dirty paws on the gen ETA movements for pennies on the dollar and used them for 03-88 you have posted above. They used up all those unicorn tears, and there is none left
Stupid move; they would have been much better off putting it into Breitling Aerospace - but I wanted BR anyway
Finally gave up
Still the dream lives on...

P.S. Also, whatever you do - do not support trusty time. They are known as the cartel for a reason and should be banished
(even though I could only find it on their website)

Update: I managed to source it from Ryan @ InTime!
He could get it for me for USD $588 + $25 (EMS Shipping).
I can confirm this is the ETA Analogue/Digital version and not the non-functional version that Trustytime is selling for $300+.

Did you provide a link or describe the watch properly?
I found it on ToroBravo's website but asked Ryan for it, as I have a purchase history with Ryan.

Maybe you described it wrongly?

Judge for yourself:
What a lot of dealers do is just say Yes, and then deal with the actual sourcing problem later. There have been many times where I ordered a watch, sent funds to discover it's "no longer in stock" - Did you purchase the watch from Toro already? I just don't see Ryan turning away an easy $600. He could have always made a mistake though

nikoel OK that is worrying.
Can I confirm the email you contacted him is [email protected]?
Now I'm wondering if somehow I emailed the wrong email?

I did not order from Toro. I only used the link from his website as the InTime website does not have that watch.
So I contacted Ryan from InTime and he said he can get it for me.
I have already made payment too.
I couldn't have been more exact with my order though. I sent him a link, image and the complete description -
Anyway, post the QC pics when you get them - I'm about to purchase a bottle of rum to drown my sorrows

Hmm ok so it's the correct email.
So either:
1.) I snatched the last one of this current batch, and you'll have to wait until the next batch is made.
OR
2.) Ryan accepted the money first, then went to check whether he can source it. He has found out that he cannot source it, and he has told you since you emailed him recently. However, he has not got back to me yet. This may also be a possibility.
Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Once [hopefully] you get your QC pics can you please follow up if it was indeed the last watch that you've purchased; hopefully he just made a mistake with me. An other possibility is that you got the PVD version for the surrender air-force and he didn't bother offering me that one

I'll definitely keep you informed!
For sure I did not want the PVD version, I want only the SS version!
