That looks very much like the Navitimer which the Vulcan Pilot wore in Thunderball! I may be wrong but looks very similar to me. Sorry for the random post but I was watching the film last Sunday and enjoyed a bit of watch spotting!

Wow guys, all really great looking watches.

I really like the vintage or out of production models, they are really cool 'tool' watches.

This forum is going to be great with the quality of Breitling watches, no doubt about that

In addition to the original leather band, I also have the Breitling rubber band which I tend to use in warmer weather to preserve the leather band. because I perspire a lot.

I really like it with the rubber band, but it is definitely more bulky than with the leather one.

I have never had any problems with the watch, but did have it serviced recently.

How's the Breitling service center turn around time , was the wait long?

unclesallie · 4 October 2009, 05:29 AM

ok. this is my friend's breitling purchased by him a long time ago, before he expatriated to Thailand. He's asked me to fix it up and sell it, but neither he nor I know much about Bretilings let alone its value. Can anyone help identify this 'mystery' watch?

any help appreciated!

Addendum: AND, can anyone tell me(address please) where I can send this for proper reconditioning and repair? And will it be worth it? .......thanks

unclesallie · 7 October 2009, 10:36 PM

no one will help me with identifying and valuation of this Breitling and where to send for service?

c'mon guys help me out here, i know nada, zippo, zero about Breitlings.....

Did a search and came up with this:
http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2009/8/...quartz-mo.html

Since it's quartz, any competent watchmaker should be able to service it. I've heard good things about Precision Watch Repair in Philly which looking at your location I think is reasonably nearby. They mainly service Omega but should be able to service Breitlings as well, give 'em a call and see what they say. Worst case, you can always send it back to Breitling HQ but be prepared to be without it for 3-4 months.

Good luck!,
Tim

Hey Dan,
you are correct! I've noticed that as well..Bond gives the watch back to his sister later in the film i believe...

Nice! I love the older bezel style but have read negative reports about the sharp edges thus stayed with the newer style. I would've really liked to have the Breitling Anchor on the seconds totalizer as well but in the end, my MontOly is the most awesome watch I've had the pleasure of owning.

Tim, I've had no problems with the bezel edges. I don't find them to be sharp at all. But then, the only time I play with the bezel is if I want to have a little fun doing some quick calculations on the circular rule. Takes me back to my engineering days.

Tim:

Thanks so much! I was unable to find this watch, and you've really helped out both me and my friend. I will check with Precision Watch Repair in Philadelphia, but my impression from the repair shop in York, is that Breitling is the way to go, because of the parts situation.

Best,
Dan

ekeko · 10 October 2009, 03:01 AM

Great watches guys. Here's mine bought new in the mid sixties and still on original bracelet, although I do have a cool black leather strap also.
I wore the watch when I married in '69 and also on our 40 years anniversary this year. It still keeps perfect time having had only 1 service in over 40 years.
My other watches include '66 Submariner, GMT II and a Speedy.
