Finally, an Aeronavale in my collection
It’s been a long time since I posted here, but for the first time in while I have something to post.
The Breguet 3800 Aeronavale is still my favorite of all the modern-era Type XX watches. Finally, one came my way, a recently serviced (slightly) pre-Swatch model. The bracelet was too short, but I succeeded in locating three extra links from a store in France. One was for a Transatlantique (brushed), but I know how to buff steel 
That said, I think I like it better on the strap. I couldn’t find a steel deployant, but I’m using an (excellent!) Ebel deployant of the same vintage. Hey! Ebel and Breguet were sister companies in those days.

It has been four years. Welcome back.
Nice way to re-introduce yourself. That is an excellent example. The bracelet is a great plus.
