Hi, just wondering how many here collect or have vintage Breitlings, if you do, please post pics.

Well, you know my collection already :smoking:
The Breitling vintage scene is more based in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. My two little babies : Cheers, Alex |

I may be buying one to restore. I'm in the process of trying to verify that it's authentic, and a Breitling repairman is going to give me an estimate on what it'll cost to restore. It's a Navitimer 860, with a Venus 178 movement, black sub dials and AOPA signed wings. Can you tell what year it is, or what it's probably worth restored?

I just bought my first, a 1972 806 178 Navitimer. It needs work, but a great old watch.

My Breitling is from the late '60s. It's equipped with a Venus 178 movement.

What about vintage dive watches? I've always wondered about these since Breitling refers to them, especially in its copy about the "Heritage" but I've never seen a vintage Breitling diver.

One of my faves: Breitling Navitimer 806, 1960. One year older than me!

Breitling Navitimer 18k Gold/SS Bracelet 431D MINT
I am trying to sell this Breitling Navitimer strap. It's sitting around not being used and I'd love to get rid of it. I wore it a few times but it hurt my wrist so I put back on my leather strap. Its practically brand new, 1650$ via Paypal with shipping. Let me know if anyones interested.

Here's one you won't see many of and the 1806 has just been traded recently for a Tudor 7016/0.
