I was searching through the Bay today. Some of you may remember my post about the strange watch that has had me puzzled for some time. Well I found another exactly like it. Apparently it's got at least one brother.

Very interesting Todd - it's obviously much more likely that your example may prove to be genuine now that you have found another one the same.

It would be great to get some sort of clarification one way or the other from Breitling SA.

On the gene-horological tree,
this appears to be an early
ancestor of today's Colt. :thanks

I've sent 2 emails to BUSA to see what they say about the watch. Sadly, none have been returned.:-s

From your location, a phone call is
not worth being put on hold, or told
to bug off. The NAWCC, which I think
is in Pa. may have some archival links
on their website, along with a vast li-
brary. When I have the chance, I'll poke
around there, & if something materializes,
I'll directly send it to you. Plus, if I find any
other fax on the web, you'll get 'em. Like
animals, it's too bad the watches cannot
speak aloud. We need a watch whisperer. :-d

Auction for this version of the Breitling that I bought for $23 has ended. Appears the "market" price today is $355. Not too bad of an investment considering mine is in much better shape and has the original strap that came with it.
