I just bought my first Breitling, can someone tell me the year it was made?
The number on the movement is 780806.

You can't date modern Breitlings from the serial number, they're random. Closest you will get is to date the case - http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_dating.shtml

The only numbers are A41330 and 780806.
I know what the A41330 numbers mean but not 780806.
So there's no way i can date my watch?

780806 is the serial number. You can approximately date your watch based on the case manufacture date as explained in the article I linked.

i know, i saw that article but there doesn't seem to be a case manufacture date on my watch.
it's supposed to be between the lugs like a rolex right?

Between the 6 o'clock lugs. You may need to remove the bracelet / strap to see it but if your is a 41330 it will be there, that reference was used for about 10 - 11 model years all of which used the case manufacture coding.

Nope, just as it says in the article! Lots of guesses and theories over the years but nothing concrete.
