PeteM Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I found this on another forum I thought it might be useful for info etc. If the original author is reading this get back to your Gen forum Apologies if its already been posted before, I couldnt find it. Cracking the code - How to decipher Breitling model numbers Breitling uses a 12 digit reference number for each of it's watches of which only the first 6 digits are engraved on the case back. The breakdown of the first 6 digits is well documented but after a lot of research, I believe this is how to break the full 12 digit reference down. Note this information is not taken from any official Breitling source but has been gleaned from a multitude of internet sources including, of course, breitlingsource.com. I acknowledge their work and take full responsibility for all errors and omissions. Example of a 12 digit code: A2332212/B635 Breaking it down by position we have 1 - Single letter representing the case material 2 & 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
