Re: FS: Extremely rare Breitling Co-Pilot

Hi Rene, i have noticed it when i bought it but after a search on the web i understood that the 7650 back would be better but also a 1765 can be right on it because probably the breitling in the lasts co-pilots used to put the back they have there in order to finish their stock of backs…a similar things happen quite often also with Rolex watches, for example a lot of 5513 have a 5512 back and vice versa.
Here for example you can find a 7650 with a 1765 back sold by antiquorum in the 1999:

Honestly i'm not a Breitling expert and the back could also be the wrong one, but i don't see why someone would like to replace the right back with this one…what do you think about it?
Have a nice day,
Francesco
