Yowza Gary, when do you ever get to see a vintage Breitling?!  Answer..hardly ever.. ..if ever !  So extraordinary sir, and so much fun seeing the similarities to today's Navitimer. The fantastic dial, and of course bezel are beautiful ! ..Neat how it doesn't say Breitling on the dial, and just has the wings like this too ! Holy cow, cool G !!!  ____________________________________ | |

Basically the wings are logo of the AOPA - the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, it says AOPA in the center of the logo. You could only get this version a member of the AOPA, the regular version had the twin tails logo....
 Wow ! Incredible Gary !!!   Thank you ! Now that's some cool history right there ! Seeing all the different versions of these over the years is outstanding sir. Love seeing the various changes, and learning about the little details like with the AOPA, and everything. ..Thought I saw some kind of writing at the middle of the wings there !  Thanks once again Gary ! Awesome !!! ____________________________________ | |

 Oh man ! Epic Darius !!!  If it's not the CF dial that gets you with this, it's the fit, and finish !!! The combination between the pure stainless, and red carbon fiber is phenomenal really, and makes for such a unique team. While at the same time being timeless ! This has to be yet another favorite in the collection. I mean it's flawless ! Unbelievable D !!! ____________________________________ | |
