The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Was someone after one of these a while back?

On eBay if interested.

Breitling Avenger Sixty Nine Rattrapante Limited RARE

I won't post the link but that's the title if you're interested.

Montbrillant Datora/Navi - White face


LEARNING.......EVERY DAY

Driver8 and I are both very keen on the Chrono Avenger Rattrapante, but we both want the calibre 34 mechanical - only 25 of those were produced. This is the far more common, and less desirable Mechaquartz calibre 69 - 600 of those and they show up every couple of months.

Havn't seen the true ratty in a very long time.

Check

Thought it was one or both of you pair - I hope you don't mind me classing you together as you're like the "City Fathers" - barring the Source themselves of course!

To good to be true Roff - I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Honoured to be grouped with the D man (did I really just say that?).

I think the CA ratty is in hiding with the elusive Chronomat Lancaster - funny really, because now that economic reality is setting in and I can't justify more purchases is exactly when I expect them to appear!!

I was thinking about the D Mans (yes that sounds OK ) search when I posted this thread - keeping an eye our for that too.

I hear what you're saying about the present climate - I'm fortunate to be in a better position at the present time - being a self employed consultant is OK when companies need things done but don't want another body on the payroll!

There's a SOH for sale which would be mine if I hadn't just spent £400 of my fund on a watch to sell on - bad timing

Now could be the time to expand my collection!

So you are the source of my problems!!!

As the owner of a management consulting firm I lose out to the independents in tough times because the value add of IP, methodology, etc loses out to the lower cost of independents.

I knew I didn't like you

I guess we are way off topic now, but heck - it's a DB mechaquartz - when will Breitling learn?

"Roff and the D Man"! Sounds like a 90's Hip Hop act!

"And this week in the Top 40, Run DMC move down a place, due to a new entry by Roff and the D Man".

Anyway, back onto topic - yes the automatic CA Rattrapante is one of the great pieces that I'd definitely be prepared to raid the piggy bank for. But then Roff will too....... and considering that I've never seen one for sale, there would likely be a mad rush to get. (And probably by quite a few other Breitling afficionadoes elsewhere as well!)

I thought "Roff and The D Man" sounded like a 70s cop show.
"Book 'em Roff!"
"Right back at you D Man, and by the way, groovy bell-bottoms my man!"
That's how I saw it anyway. Sorry to venture off topic.
