Title: Fine Vintage Beaded Bezel Breitling Navitimer, Ref. 806
AOPA Logo
Description:
NEARMINT condition. Believe it or not, this watch came from a
little old lady in Pasadena. She brought it into the shop of a
watchmaker friend a few years ago. He wore it for awhile then sold it.
What is special about it besides the provenance I've just
mentioned, is the condition. You may or may not know but many dealers
call buffed or refurbished watches nearmint. Once a watch, steel or
gold has been buffed, its original finish is lost forever. That is one
reason this fine Patek Philippe,
click here....sold for such a high price. Never buffed. Same here.
Never ever buffed. There are numerous micro fine scuffs, some light
scratches and a few tiny nicks. Most are visible only upon close
examination but the polished lug tops show these scuffs the clearest.
The rare beaded bezel rotates, and is in perfect condition. Steel
snap on back is marked 972431 (circa 1963) on the inside, for collector reference.
806 on the outside of the back is the model number. As you can clearly
see in our photos, the AOPA dial matches the overall condition. With an old tool watch (used by pilots) of this type, finding a dial which looks
almost new is very difficult. Some specs of dirt can be seen on the
outside of the case in our
close-up photos as I've not cleaned the external portion. A damp cloth will
easily get it and I'll do that before shipment. But, you can also see
just how little wear it has. Look at the shot between the lugs. All
original. Nothing has been changed, exchanged or replaced. The acrylic
crystal could even be the original as it is the correct thin slightly
domed style which has no bevel. A crystal with a beveled edge (modern
replacements sometimes have this) can interfere with reading of the
outer rotating bezel. Comes on a brand new
Hadley Roma 886 but also has a
modern Breitling strap, well used and a Breitling steel buckle. Both were added
by the watchmaker who purchased it from the lady. That is the original box also which may come as a surprise
considering we all expect a square box these days. I will throw in a one
year warranty on the perfect pink Breitling (Venus Caliber 178) hand
wound movement and most of our customers already know
this but when anyone who has purchased a watch from us needs help, we do
it. Even if a long time has passed, after the sale. This large, rare and extra fine
sport chronograph measures 40 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 49 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Title: Beautiful Pre-Owned Modern 18k/SS Rolex Submariner
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Pretty nice watch with little sign of wear
or use. Some, not a lot though. I can see some faint scuffs on the gold
center links if I look hard in the right light and one or two very faint
nicks down on the backside edge of the main body...that is about it.
Another way to judge condition on Rolex bracelet watches is to look at
the spot where the clasp and extension clasp rub the inside of the
bracelet. I've taken two extra photos of this area which barely shows a
rub mark. X serial number is around 1991. Sapphire quick set with no
edge chips, scrapes or scuffs on the crystal or any marks on the gold
bezel that I can see. The crown is nice and tight as is the bezel. Blue
dialed Subs are really gorgeous watches and very popular in the market
place. Bracelet is pretty tight also without much droop. See photo.
Click on the image to the left. Measures about 40 mm wide (not including the
crown, crown guard or bezel which sticks out over the edge of the main
body) x 48 mm long x 14 mm thick.

of the bezel. The one in the photo is a replacement. Working on the
original. Fully serviced, oiled and timed with a one year
warranty. New domed correct style acrylic crystal. Mint plus original matte dial.
Mint plus original hands. Circa 1965. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the

Title:
Pristine Mint Three Register Breitling
Chronograph
Description:
PRISTINE MINT condition. Highly desirable Swiss chrono with a Valjoux
7736 hand wound movement which has not seen the light for many
years. 1970's round pusher, friction fit steel back which is fully
marked and has never been removed from the watch. Despite the age this
perfect "dress chronograph" runs great and actually keeps superb time.
All of the chrono functions work perfectly. The heavy gold plated body
is brushed with a thin polished bezel design around the dial. The gold
has darkened to a fantastic and unusual color. It is water resistant,
shock protected, anti-magnetic with stunning gold three register dial.
Chronograph features 60 second timer (long center second hand), thirty
minute timer (sub-dial at three) and 12 hour timer which is the dial at
six. The subsidiary dial at nine is the seconds hand which is normally
where the 60 second chronograph hand is on time only watches. Installed
with a high grade Hadley Roma (not original Breitling) genuine Croc
straps (made in America) in dark brown and although they are slightly
glossy they really highlight this magnificent chronograph. The crystal
is acrylic and can be buffed if scuffed or scratched. Measures 42 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 47 mm long x 14 mm thick.
