MAJ75 922 Posted November 27, 2016 I have been looking for a few months for the right opportunity to aquire my first Vintage Breitling. I love the aesthetic styling of the Top Time model, the case shape is beautifully simple and the dial is well proportioned with the dual register chrono having a lovely symmetry. I know that it is very similar to my Heuer 7725S but I just love the design of the chronographs from the 60's. I managed to secure my piece at auction & it is in wonderful condition for being over 50 years old, the movement (Venus 188) is keeping great time. Hoping that next up might be a Navitimer 806 from the same era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAJ75 922 Posted November 27, 2016 It's a beauty. What size is it? Thanks mate, similar to other watches of the time fairly small by today's standard - case diameter 36mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUSH2112 11 Posted November 27, 2016 That's what I suspected. The dial has an amazing shimmer that's got to be a lot nicer in person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are definitely on a role. Maybe I should say defiantly on a roll. I need to start cutting back my friend as "the roll" is taking me towards insolvency........... Sir, your collection is bespoke... Stunning timepiece Coming from yourself & knowing your taste it means alot. Sadly herd thinning will have to commence soon, the trouble is I love everything I have left so don't know where to start. Great catch, always had a crush on those older chronograph watches...something about them! I'm right with you mate................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
