Got a call from one of the places I contacted. Should have it Wednesday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

congrats, hope you'll love it! strap is from Hod inkee (yes, that is still suppressed b the forum software here, so adding a space, also in the link below, u need to remove that). this is "Aged Brown", but "Aged Grey" looks great too. https://shop.hod inkee.com/collections/straps/products/aged-brown-leather-watch-strap?variant=13819918404 a cheaper and nice option are the Milanostraps Gaucho Leather:  https://www.milanostraps.com/collection ... watch-band also nice, the "Epsom" by Milano, but tapering is 22/20, so not perfect (talked to the owner, he may add 22/18s.... https://www.milanostraps.com/products/c ... atch-strap |

And thank you for the strap references. I’ll check all of those out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For anyone in the US still looking for one, last I checked they still have some available for sale on the Breitling website. |

here's a lovely variation, the 1959 Edition in platinum. an "interpretation" of the original, so not a "RE-Edition". limited to 59 pieces

I still prefer the SS version, but the platinum version is a lovely looking piece. |

It’s a blue dial, yes? |

dial is lovely irl - and these replaced those blinged-out diamond-studded Bentley monsters as "high end offerings" the Boutiques desperately wanted; quite a change selling nicely too, I hear. |

I like the lume color better on the platinum version, looks to be more white. Saw the SS version the other day at the AD, not a big fan of the vintage lume or the price, ha! |

An SS version with the blue dial would almost certainly lead me to pulling the trigger on one of these. |
