Post subject:  Trying to figure out the year of a Breitling Premier
I have been trying to figure out the year of this Chronograph Premeir of my late fathers. It appears to fall between 1946 and 1947. Is there any way to be sure?
When I pass the watch to my son I would like him to have the history.
I have 3 rows of numbers on the back and from top to bottom they are;

787
70033
17890

I just had the watch refurbished and would like to get a wrist strap for it worthy of the time piece. Any suggestions for a wrist strap?
I can't wait to go flying and check out the timing ability as I have never before had a chronograph watch.

Thanks in advance for your help,

:santa:

something off w/ that number, middle row should be 6 digit

Always a mess up to muddy the waters...

The middle number is missing the last digit which is "zero."

To be clear: 700330.


Thanks for the help :)

Okay, after figuring out there is a size limit I have a picture of the back reduced.

These pictures taken before the refurbishing.
