cleobis Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hi, it's been a long time since I last posted here, been very busy...anyways...I few months back, well a lot of months back, I posted some pics (here ) of a breitling datora that my faher gave me on my 18th birthday (he bought it in 1972)...Last year I met a watchsimth that works in my city for a Rolex dealer and asked him if he could have a look at my watch. He did a full movement service, made it work as knew and also did a bit of restoration on the outside, not too much....just some "scratch cleaning" and gave it a cleaner look...so...after all this time, hee are some pics of the watch I have my digital camera with some problem so I had to take the pics with my mobile, also, I don't have with me the tool to open the caseback, so you'lol have to wait a bit more for the movement pics well...enough rambling.... I'm very happy and been using it everyday since I got it (last week)...it's beautifull..I think cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Nice piece! I forget the "name" of the band Breilting used back in the 70's. I know the Bullet was the band in the 80's. I love how the new Chrono-Matics have done such a nice job capturing the 70's era watches they built! Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
