The Breitling Watch Source Forums

First of all sorry for first post being in the for sale section.

I have this lovely Navitimer 806, original box/instructions and purchase receipt from 1967, but I'm not sure if it's earlier than 1967 or not (how can I tell?)

Anyway, this is the only pic I have at the moment, I don't wear it because I'm afraid of damaging it as I'm fairly brutal with my watches lol.

So, if someone wants to give me £3k for it then I'll sell it, if I'm wildly out on the price and should be asking more let me know

Can you provide the serial number or a photo of the inside of the case back?

I'll take a pic tonight and post.

watch was manufactured later 1964 to 1966, but the serial will give us a precise manufacturing year for the case.

watch seems to be in impressive condition and for a full set the asking price is certainly not unfair.

lovely piece, GLWS !

Thanks.

Question .... I've never taken the back off this, so what's the safest way to do it?

assuming you have no decent quality case knife (no, a regular knife isn't a good substitute), I sugg st to have a watchmaker pop it open for you. the caseback scratches easily

Good idea, I'll go that over the weekend, I don't want to damage it, thanks.

sound decision.
make sure to grab pics of the inside caseback w/ the serial and of the movement.

beautiful set and watch. can't imagine you'd have trouble selling it

I forgot to say, I'd be interested in a deal with a Speedmaster Pro moon watch, prefer a later one with the screws in the bracelet

Update, it's been sold to a superb gent, thanks for all the interest.

Congratulations. Just out of interest, what did the serial number reveal about the year it was made?

Serial number dated it from 1965

congrats to the new owner; exceptionally nice piece
