Incoming . . . Breitling AVI 765 1964 Re-Edition ‘Co-Pilot’

Yesterday, Breitling’s Boston Boutique officially opened!


They also managed to sell their first piece, thanks to me!


I saw this release back in May, which is a boutique and online exclusive piece. There have been multiple times where I had it in the basket, but didn’t proceed to the purchase point. With only 164 pieces, it’s difficult to make a decision without seeing it in the flesh. Well, I finally had that opportunity yesterday!


Needless to say, it may made decision much easier, which was unfortunate for my bank account!








Thanks for looking!

Beautiful Watch! I have always been a Breitling fan and this one definitely rekindles the interest. Good Luck with it!

I've looked at this one too, and come close, more than once, to "pre-order" it or, now, "adding it to basket". I've been surprised it hasn't sparked discussion until your post. Glad you got one and hope you enjoy it in good health for many years...it's a dandy.

Looks like we both have shared this experience. I lost track of how many times I did that. It wasn't until I saw it in the metal that I was ready to 'pull the trigger." Hopefully, you have the opportunity to see one in the near future.

Thanks!

That would be dangerous to my checkbook, to see it in person! Oh, who am I kidding? Dangerous to my credit card!
