I'm told Santa Claus arrives every year on the eve of Christmas day and leaves presents under the tree....
I noticed that post early this morning, and asked for a pic of the movement. Crown doesn't look correct and I'm not 100 % sure but the hands look to be relumed. I'm actually interested in this watch. Anyone care to comment?
Agree, relumed and replacement crown. Would like to see the Breitling movement... it might be a real rarity.
Breitling movement? That's like trying to sell a Benz on the basis of its fine Opel engine. Except for Opel probably actually made engines, and Breitling never did (until recently)
this is true with respect to vintage Breitling models, right? is Breitling's modern B01 a complete in-house made movement?
you can also give them partial credit for the cal. 11,12 & 15, as they were part of the consortium that developed that series, along with Buren, Hamilton & Heuer.
Yes, mostly. It's true of wristwatches, but I believe they long ago made 3 or 4 pocket watch chronograph calibers. Yes. I'd like to know exactly what Breitling contributed. Hamilton owned Buren at the time, which provided the base microrotor caliber (the 1280 I think). It's obvious that Heuer's engineering skills were a major part of the collaboration. What did Breitling bring to the party?
Not sure why you are giving Heuer more credit than Breitling. Neither made their own movements prior to Cal. 11. They probably both just contributed francs for development.
