sammysmiths 41 Posted February 29, 2020 Purchased this today. Pre-owned and bought off Ebay. Bit of a risk but my knowledge of watches, and the replicas out there, I was confident that this was the real deal. Very well looked after, box and papers and watch are all mint, and was a bargain at £1600. _20200229_145424[8430] by jason greenwood, on Flickr 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCRich 13,739 Posted February 29, 2020 Wow, that is "vintage." Lot of DNA on that watch. Pretty sure that one wasn't repped in any decent form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuvolablue 2,051 Posted March 1, 2020 Lovely pick up. I don't really wear anything bigger than 40mm nowadays, but if I was going to go to that size then the Breitling pilot range of watches would be my first choice. Their chunky contoured bezels really make a statement. Love the interplay with the large and small Arabic fonts on the dial too.

sammysmiths 41 Posted March 1, 2020 It doesn't wear big to be honest. It's quite thin and flat on the wrist, and with it being titanium, you don't even know you're wearing it. Meaning every now and then you have to pull back your cuff just to check. Then BLAM!!! there it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted March 8, 2020 I need this in my life... I was thinking about going for the Black Bay 58 or a Sinn 103,but I just keep coming back to this. I think it's a perfect every day watch, no contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked many of our TD's whether this was available as a rep and all came back with 'this model wasn't in production as a rep'. So I would say, rest assured this is original.

FunnyStarSystem 7,537 Posted March 8, 2020 Lovely watch, I too have had a lust for one some years ago. Taking a look now on the Bay, the prices vary wildly but it looks like you can pick up a decent one for not too much. What should I look out for when perusing the ads? For example, this one here has a buy it now for $780 US, what am I missing for it to be so cheap? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Breitling-aerospace-titanium-F65062/383450357787?hash=item59476c201b:g:A3AAAOSwoQleVb57 Well duh, yours is the Evo. Answered my own question. Nevermind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Answered my own question. Nevermind. Yeah his is the newer model! Also there are rare birds.... like @hasel5 ‘s blue dial which again is worth more! Mine was sub £600. AR is the best on these! Lume is better than my Panerai too. Gen for rep money if you bide your time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sammysmiths 41 Posted March 11, 2020 Yeah EVO is the latest model, 43mm case and they changed the number font on the bezel to the same as on the Galactic models. Every one I looked at was pre-EVO and was coming through at £1800-£2500. I couldn't believe this one when I saw it. Its unbelievable how mint it is, and all box and papers etc look brand new. Its difficult to rep due to the quartz movement and its time repetition function etc. By pressing the crown it will beep in sequence the correct time. I have no idea why!!! lol. You can just look at the hands, or the digital display. By rotating the crown quickly, it cycles between stopwatch (CHR) , timezone 2 (TM) , alarm (AL) on the top display, and the bottom display will show the function digits, or day/date, secs/date time in full, or off completely, to save battery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
