Buddman, thank you very much for your comments on the watch.
I have two further questions arising from your comments. You say the watch is plated. With apologies for my ignorance, does this mean that it is not stainless steel, as the caseback in the pictures suggests? Is a plated watch a bad thing?
Regarding your advice on the FB Gallet group, I'm not on FB, but will now probably put a similar post on the TimeZone Vintage Forum.
Thanks again
Ben
Plated watches are generally less desirable than fully solid cases, ie stainless, gold, etc. I guess primarily because it's doesn't last forever and because some people would regard it as "fake". In breitling terms, an all street navitimer would generally sell for more that the gold plated version.
