cougaree Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi guys, I'm thinking about putting this Breitling auto movement into my SOSF case. I'm wondering if you can tell me the font on the date wheel (of the spare movement) is correct for this watch model. Thanks! This is what's currently on the watch.

By-Tor Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The one that you're about to install looks much better. First versions of the ETA SFSO had much better datefonts. They downgraded it at some point... your watch seems to have the lemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 As you can in this pic of the gen, the 13 is accurate to your gen movement, not the rep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks guys! The font looks exactly like the ones on my gen movement. I was pretty confused when I posted my question because my gen Colt Auto has very similar font as what's currently on my SOSF. I know it's gen because I bought it from a reputable dealer years ago. Did Breitling make more than one variation of the Colt Auto then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Your Colt seems to have standard ETA font, which was used by Breitling as well before they started to apply their own DWs on the movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
