Re: Here's a circa 1973 Breitling Datora model 2034

I quite like the dial actually Stephen, though I'd prefer white registers to silver - I think silver always comes across a bit cheap, something I've thought when TAG-Heuer used it on some of their chronos. The case is a different matter, not so keen on that - is it highly polished steel or chromed base metal? Looks a bit too shiny, takes attention away from the dial which is a cardinal sin for a tool watch.

I do like the occasional Breitling, but not many - I think they probably reflect Willy Breitling's exuberance during the same period as Heuer's golden years and I prefer Jack Heuer's restraint!
