    I have been a fan for over 20 years and just purchased my first one. Chronomat Evolution 13356 Rose and Stainless. Why have I waited so long?

    ^ Nice.

    Bought an Emergency Mission for my son recently. Unique concept to Breitling.

    The Navitimer is one of my favorite designs but I would destroy it and besides these old eyes cant read the damn thing.

    It used to be that the emergency could only be purchased by a pilot. You had to show proof of this. Do they still do this?

    Times change.

    Gotta show cash.

    Big no-no to deploy the beacon. Like a $10k no-no.

    Last month,I had a dealer offer me what I paid for my Mission Emergency in trade for a PP. He said they are highly sought after especially with all boxes and paperwork- which I have.

    Dausault stopped making the transmitter.
    Supposedly they are working on one of a different frequency but at a much higher price.
    There were a bunch of titanium Missions on ebay recently supposedly ex US Govt issue coming back from the sand box. Most were rough with no box or papers etc.

    I like the Mission better. Plus it can be hot polished to remove any eventual scratches.

    Thats interesting you say that. I’m a watch collector and have my eye on a certain AP and I thought about selling my Breitling Evolution limited edition. It’s 18k solid Rose gold on bracelet and comes with everything from new. It’s never been worn and is in incredible condition. If your interested text me at 901-301-0226 and I’ll send you some pics. Thank you
