Here's a rare one, a Breitling 3865 divers

They show up occasionally, from the early 70's with an ETA 17 jewel movement and normally in two different hand configurations and in his and hers sizes.

Good original dial, back and movement


Hard to find much info on these, the catalogue pictures were taken from a 1969 Breitling magazine add which show the 3875 (middle photo) with the different hands. Anyone else have any info on these, thanks

prices seem very reasonable, I would've figured 2-3x that. But then again, there was a vintage navitimer on here in 18kt that was only around $3500, which again I thought was a relative bargain. new solid gold navitimers are outrageous xD I guess vintage breitling isn't as hot as the new stuff.
