I've been watching this on the bay:

There's something about this watch that I find appealing. I was sceptical about the Breitling association and did a little research.

You learn something new everyday.

Never knew this. Any thoughts/views on the watch?

It certainly has a vintage look to it. At first glance I didn't think much of this watch but after looking at it for a while I also, like you, find something somewhat appealing to it. :)

If nothing else........it's a reasonable price my friend. :)

Cheers SF......good price at the moment but likely to rise.

Funds are tight this time of year and, as you know, we're expecting a new addition shortly. ;)

Interesting and I learned something new today... yippee! That aside, tends to grow on you and has somewhat of a Blancpain look.

Not sure where Stiff gets his info. The auto divers go for about $300-400 all day long.
Nice watches.

Auto? Where's da rotor? It's da PIN LEVER piece of junk! Da $3.00 werks in da $5.00 hausen! Wonder what da orginal keystone was? $25.00? This and Wakmann were VERY poor and distant cousins of da Breitling.

sm iiH!
