hi,

I have searched for a long time but have not found any reference of a cosmonaute 1967 with white sub dials with that breitling logo and AOPA logo on it.

http://www.ebay.nl/itm/162094643688?_tr ... EBIDX%3AIT

My question, is this watch restored correctly? if it's restored by Mark Heist as the seller claim, why there's none to find with the same specs on the net.

Any opinion will be strongly be appreciated!

Thanks!

service dial

Breitling, in their infinite wisdom decided to do a "one fits all" logo variation, combining the AOPA-lettered wings & the Breitling logos, so you end up with a watch that is never correct.
sad, but true.

Thank you Fred. But what does it mean "Service Dial"?
