Dear Friends,
I am working so hard last 2 years and try to discover the reason about the ''Breitling passion'' of Lotus drivers between 1968/69.All three wore a Navitimer 806.
Not simple drivers,but great names and world champions.Only at Lotus.And Lotus,at the time,was the top.
I purchased many books from ebay,very old books from the 60's,and now i have a very good pics.
I discovered the ''Jim Clark connection'' 2 years ago at Nurburgring.I was a sponsor of a Superbike Team(Ducati Althea Racing)and i met a very old photographer,a German guy.
I was talking with him,and he showed me some old pictures in black and white,and SURPRISE i noticed a strange ''big''watch at Clark's wrist.
The final proof was the acquistion of the old book ''Das leben von Jim Clark'' with the watch visible on cover photo.
I am a great fan of Jim,and this is the reason about my passion.
My home is full of books,dvs's,posters and wall pictures about him,and he is my spiritual guide every day.
Now I have the entire series of watches about Clark (Navitimer,Top Time,Sherpa Graph but not a Gallet)and my research go on.
Pay attention to Navitimers 806 with white registers.Are undervalued.It's time to buy.
Thank you for your attention,have a nice time.
