Here's Eddie Lee's new 49mm Bret. I've ordered one.

I was wondering if the dials on the Brets are explained anywhere???

Thanks!

the original boxes and paperwork comes with instructions on how to use the dials. I never bothered myself to read it, but it has something to do with aviation.

It's just a simple slide rule, like those E6B whizz wheel type flight computers.

The slide rule on the breitlings such as the navitimer is for calculating air speed. You use the outer ring as the start point and set it at the time you start and then read of the average speed at the differnt times.

breilings web site has the full lesson on how to use it.

even if you doint use it, it still looks dam good !!

Changing the topic a bit, anybody tried to fit an ETA movement in this? Would it be 7750 or 7753?

7753 for that dial layout.

Not sure where the date corrector would go.
