One Breitling Superocean 1004 is something, but two?

Mine is still at the SPA, and with a bit of luck, I will get it for next summer... But in the meantime, I am often visiting my hard disc to virtually enjoy this rare beauty.

I found a picture featuring two of them, mine on the right:



When it comes to Breitling, this beauty from 1958 is certainly off the beaten paths!

Best,

Nicolas

Truly one of the extraordinarily beautiful and original designs of the Golden Era, and I'm envious of anyone lucky enough to own one! Best, Tony C.

Golden era. When it comes to vintage diving watches, absolutely.

As for Chrongraphs, I would say mid Thirties, late Fourties... Best, Tony. Nicolas

Bravo

yours is stunning. Mind you the chrono model is not bad either... When you get is back, would you consider selling it to me? (Qui n'essaie rien n'a rien) :-) Best R

LOL, it was worth trying! ;)

Let me welcome it back home after such a long time ( 2 years! ). Then, maybe, why not, a trade? ;) Best, my greedy friend. Nico. PS: I asked the watchmaker to remove the paint on the bezel, to get it as it was originally, even if not in the best condition... 

No

no trade for you, my friend... How would you otherwise get to that magic target of yours of coming under the 10 watches mark? :-) Best Z'

A cool and unique vintage diver....

Definitely doesn't look like all the others, and I mean that in a good way. Yours has incredible patina - hopefully it will find its way back from the SPA soon! Darren

Ouuuchhh !.. Stupid me !.. Don't remind me on this miss !.. Otherwise I might climb up a wall ! ;))

Only consolation & good thing, that there were 3 other time-pieces, to cheer me up !! Still, we learn by our mistakes: - Fail sometimes.. Try again : Fail better !.. Best, my Vladish friend ! hs
