Nothing says love like a chronograph. Small and perfectly formed at 27.5mm! Also pretty rare from my experience. Attachment: DSCN4204.JPG Attachment: DSCN4205.JPG http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160725617273? ... 1438.l2649 Attachment: BreitlingAd.jpg

sweet. can not read the serial no., mid 40s ? any idea which movement these had, even 11 ligne must have been too big for it, maybe Valjoux 69 ? |

too small, Shawn, even small for a ladies watch. the 178s are 34mm, anything smaller than that would probably look strange imho. |

Yaffle It actually would make a great vintage ladies watch, but the ladies do not seem to have *any* interest in Vintage watches , at least not mine , and if they have they wear rolex sports watches

This is an awesome looking watch! Personally, I am leaning towards Vintage watches. I will still buy a new one, but honestly, the older watches just have something about them that make me like a kid in a candy store! I may try and locate one to purchase for my wife just to see if she may be interested in it...if not, my uncle is a cabinet maker, I will have him build me a case with lights to put on my wall in my den to show off the watches I buy! |
