Presented for your pleasure, comments and corrections welcomed Circa 1945 with a case number 612,6** Venus 175 Breitling "Premier" movement Dial outstanding with no fading Sharp bevels, Sharp case....I tried to catch the factory brushing between the lugs on the case My WM found completely dried oil, unusable vintage mainspring and a broken chrono minute wheel Luckily I secured a correct wheel for replacement Resets like BUDDA Sharp bezel
Shark Bought off *bay dealer out of Florida selling Made in USA straps of all kinds and sizes. High quality. no relationship with seller and I don’t know if they still even sell now, bought a bunch 3-5 years ago.
Just realized it was in 2017 already, not last year. Anyhow, wanted to highlight it's an extremely difficult watch to find in such a great condition as yours congrats !
Kov thank you for this information and your comments. time flys, but your memory was very good on the important part!!! I was happy when I saw the dial in hand. Case condition “in hand” confirmed the pix. That minute wheel breaking came early in this watches life, drawer queen since, I bet. Can’t admire the design engineeer enough when perusing Modern equivalents.
I had one as well but I decided to move to the second generation of the Chronomat because that Mark I was really wayyyyy too fragile to be worn.
