    Hello OF,

    Asking price includes shipping and insurance in CONUS. Payment by wire is preferred but am open to other forms to be discussed with purchaser.

    Very similar to the AOPA Big Eye of the same model and shares the larger subdials and glossy dial.
    Measures aprox: 37mm and 19mm lug width

    The movement is Valjoux 72C and has the Breitling import wog stamp.

    Watch has been serviced this month Feb 2020 and will honor a 1 year warrant to be preformed by my watchmaker if any movement issues are had during that time. As you may or may not know, these triple dates are expensive to service given the complications. Only movement was serviced. Case, hands and dial had been left alone.


    Worth noting is, Damage/ blemish just to the right of the month window and also present at the 24 day mark on outer edge of dial and Some spots are also present on subdials. Please study pictures closely as they are an important part of description of the watch. I have also included a wrist shot from this afternoon that shows the watch and how it presents worn.

    Breitling crown is present and I believe it to be original, which makes sense with the WOG stamp. All hands are intact and full lume. It’s very common to see the end of hands damaged/ missing, these are completely intact. Full lume is also present on raised hour plots.

    Case is good condition and has the usual scrapes of a watch that is approximately 40 years old. Most likely polished lightly at some point of it's life.

    Watch was purchased with a small bracelet shown here. I have no clue if it is original or not. Happy to include it if desired.

    I also have a NSA bracelet that I was using on the watch and am happy to discuss the bracelet if desired. Bracelet is in photos above and currently sized for my wrist. I do have additional links if needed as well.

    Watch was sourced here locally in NYC.

    If I have have missed anything or need to change anything in the listing, please do let me know by PM and will amend the listing.

    References are available and will ask of the same from you.

    As always, thank you OF!
