My 1946 Valjoux 72c Datora 785 triple date back from servicing!

Just had my 1946 Valjoux 72C Breitling Datora 785 triple date serviced, thanks Craig @ Chronodeco for doing a great job on it, highly recommended for vintage Breitlings!

That's one cool watch

Imagine walking out of the store with that on your wrist in 1946

Good Lord, she's beautiful!!!!! The strap looks great also, some guys are afraid to use a brown strap with gold for some strange reason.

Thanks, must have surely been a very happy day for the guy with it on his wrist in 1946 considering it still makes me happy in 2012:)
