this needs a little background for the non-vintage crowd, René ?
congrats again, this is one of the greatest pickup coups ever !


I rather like the black background Fred !! :D

But if the non Vintage crowd is interested ,
One of the most sought after Vintage Navitimers is the '54 model with a Valjoux 72 movement or as we named it the 'Broendum Breitling' after Kurt Broendum who has spent almost 10 years (or more ?) investigating these pieces

These are rare enough that a year can pass and none of them are offered in an acceptable state if they are offered at all, until one morning I wake up , browse Ebay as we all do , spot a watch and click 'Buy now' .. the rest .. is sitting on my wrist :)

If you're interested in reading the story and the analysis , here's the thread
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=36414

and some more pics that I shot today

Still in brown town. Pondering a bracelet for this watch but because it's vintage I'm not quite sure which way to go.

Greg, never saw a Pult on bracelet, would doubt it would fit, maybe try a mesh ?

the (almost) daily dose of vintage, a rather old guy from 1946;
Breitling ref. 178 in quite impeccable condition.
