Horological Meandering

The Chronomat is a treasure, and to say all, when I saw yours, I changed my mind about this watch...

BUT, there is one which is missing to the call... My favourite!

Best and thanks for the share, Eitan.

Unless I am mistaken.

Sadly I don't have them to hand to take new pictures, so had to use what I already have.

It was fun posting them.

No message body

I can't say I'm an expert on them, but certainly I have spent some time searching for them.

But like Nicolas, I miss some...

A white lady that took my breath away!

Still have to keep a few for our little meets

The beads of rice 806 with the original bezel takes the cake. For me THE Breitling to own - love it!

I make no secret of my love too. The thing that probably turns most people off - the complexity of the dials, actually draws me to Breitling.

Great topic Nicolas, thanks - I always like looking at Breitling pics. Here are mine:

 

did it come with the watch Ubik or did you track it down seperately?

but it is actually later in production to this watch. I believe around the end of the Sixties.

It does sit on the watch so well. I bought it seperately at least 8 years ago, they do pop up from time to time
but the prices have gone through the roof.

It does look great, I like the snug fit to the case. I think mesh bracelets are amazing, I hadnt had one until I put my JB Champion one on my Cosmo and they its so comfortable.

the Cosmo you have is stunning. Always wanted the all black version of that, but it's soooo rare.

I agree the all black first gen Navitimer is very special, I could fall into that dial and never return.

I agree, the old all black dials are stunning. One day......)

Many thanks for showing us those wonderful pieces Ubik!
That 765 AVI which I did not know is imho the star of the show.

Yes the AVI is very beautiful, also it's later iteration the co-pilot.

Can't count how many skipped heart beat.

I never had to push anything on to anyone.

Just fantastic Ubik. Thanks for walking us through your collection. And thanks to Nicolas for starting this.

One day I will take some better pictures and do some group shots.

and you know I am partial to the ones that are missing from mine.

If only it was not so highly priced...

Best, my friend.

Nicolas.

Unless I catch him first

No Breitling in my watch box... Yet..?

Do you mind if I join with some old ads?

Especially the Unitime, the Superocean Chrono, the Chronomat.

Impressive gathering of ads, my friend.

I knew I could count on you!

Thank you so much.

I would love to have a Breitling theme in my box...!

 

Best, my friend

I am pretty sure you will go fast!

You know my routine.

First find the documents...

Second - study documents...

Third, try to grab what ever you guys left behind!

 

Best, my friend

You start your hunt!

You still have plenty of time!
