Ah, interesting....you don't see those that often!! A lot of Breitlings have the 7733/34 movement, which is a good movement, but when you can buy similar watches with this movement for £200 - £400.....it makes you wonder what you get extra for a Breitling that's for sale at £1200 -1400 with exatly the same mov't??
This is your mov't

After posting a picture of this watch on another thread last night, I realized that I haven't worn it in a while. I bit formal for a t-shirt and shorts, but it came out for the day anyway.
