·Greetings!
I have just acquired fresh to the market, completely unmolested but beaten-up Breitling 765 AVI retailed by Kronometer Stockholm ( co-signed dial ) from the very late 50s.
My plan is to source missing original parts ( crown, pusher and small hand from the 12-hour counter ), swap the crystal and give the watch complete cleaning of the case, full service of the movement.
I have studied a bit about this significant reference.
What I am particularly concerned is following:
1. Production numbers of these co-signed 765 AVI models?
2. Are there any other retailer co-signed AVI 765 on the market?
3. Does these chronos serve solely the purpose for aviators and professional pilots, or civilians could also purchase these watches?
Googling helped me to source out only 3 pieces that surfaced market in the past, including mine.
a) https://www.kaplans.se/en/auktioner/3800/vara/1685103, that ended up at shucktheoyster
b) https://www.shucktheoyster.com/port...hronograph-765-avi-kronometer-stockholm-rare/
c) exact piece from shucktheoyster is presented here on the forum: https://omegaforums.net/threads/kronometer-stockholm-relabelled-breitlings-sold-in-sweden.159206/
d) also from the same thread, but different example: https://omegaforums.net/attachments/skärmavbild-2023-05-04-kl-12-11-28-png.1601478/
e) this article is also referring to just 2 known pieces, before third one has appeared: https://forum.chronomania.net/mix_entry.php?id=212983
Are there other unknown examples out there?
Looking forward to your contribution in advance.
Nice summer to all
Luke
