The Breitling Watch Source Forums

last for Big Upload Day and the rarest and most complete of all.

Prepared by Lester Harrison, great guy and wonderful source for vintage Breitling spare parts, in the pre-computer times of the early 80s, with scissors and glue; long before Benno Richter Lester had plans to publish a book about Breitling; a resource I do use very often, though you have to zoom the image sometimes to be able to read the model numbers.

Lester has given me his permission to publish this here, many, many thanks and !

Edit: New list with improved readability here:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=35656&hilit=lester#p261196

That one is special!

Thanks Fred, and thanks Lester - an English gentlemen!!

Lovely post Fred, I'll have a No 25, a No 49 with a No 64 on the side please. Can you tell me which of these are the really rare birds

rare ?

IMO : (not counting the quartz models , those are also quite rare)

30, 31, 32,35, 36.37.38.39 44 ( i think) 49 ,56 (never seen one) 65

but a great resource ! and a lot of pieces I've not remember seeing seeing before

And there in lies the problem (and the reason for the price).

Love the Unitimes, a "31" 2610 is at the Dalles Spa and needs some work (Craig actually dislikes the modified Felsas), but a nice, affordable 260 ...

I´d take them all (though I am happy to have some of them in my collection) many of them rare, love the ultrarare hen´s teeth SuperOceans. (36,37), they are almost impossible to find !
René, please do not forget to post some pics !

re the 56 you have never seen, nice, but no 807. A seller in Germany has one, but ridiculously expensive, and I have put one on my wrist for you:

Hi all, have tried to adapt the Lester Harrison Model List a little, added more legible reference numbers and model names
it is now in excel format, so please correct any mistakes and omissions you find, will be happy to update.

EDIT: thanks, Roff for typo and movement correction, am sure there is more (just found a Venus 178 Pult 2117, impossible to proofread things you wrote yourself).

At first look.....

#11 has a typo in the model number, should be 80190. Movement was an ESA Y2 900231

Great job with this Fred!

Wow, awesome chart, thanks WatchFred and Lester, pictures are worth more than a thousand words for sure! He should make an internet version of it to update as new info comes in:). Also in the first two 806 models, include a all black dial one I guess.
Roff, can we make a sticky of this chart somewhere?

Awesome chart... and great revisions Fred! Thanks to both...

now only if I can find a #48 in decent condition at a fair price then I would be a very happy boy...

Hi Fred, do you happen to have a high resolution download of this chart for me to see the dial design and text in detail?

Thanks

sorry, these are not hiRes pics but come from old sales folders, optimized as much as possible

A collection to aim for. Excellent work Fred. Thanks.
