: I visit much too rarely - and have to thank Jeff for the kind words
: about my IG feed.

: Yes, I'm primarily a Breitling guy, but also collect other
: outstanding chronograph brands, Heuer, of course, but also
: Jardur, Excelsior Park, Gallet and Enicar.

: So whatever Jim really wore is fine with me, he clearly had
: excellent taste in watches - but we have no picture of Jim
: wearing that Gallet Multichron 12 "Jim Clark", just a
: letter from the guy he gave it to.

: This picture has been widely discussed:
Good stuff Fred!

:

: Breitling in "The Book" (and others in several articles)
: claim it is a Top Time ref. 810 - but it clearly is not, the
: subdial distance is just too small, it might be a ref. 765 with
: a LIP co-brand dial, as these had the larger subdials of the
: Co-Pilot, but no rotating bezel, which is clearly missing here.

: The Enicar guys claim it is a Sherpa Graph, but the lugs seem much
: too thin for the Sherpa case ?
: We'll never really know what Jim is wearing here.

: But the watch Jim Clark was clearly wearing often in 1967 is a
: Breitling without doubt, a Navitimer ref. 806.

: Here we see Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Colin Chapman and Keith
: Duckworth; Jim wearing his Navitimer. Le Mans, July 02, 1967

:

: doubts ?

:

: if that still seems inconclusive, here we have a picture of Jim and
: his Lotus, Monte Carlo 1967

:

: very clearly a Twin Plane Navitimer ref. 806

:

: we have no way of knowing what Graham Hill wore in that first shot,
: but it might well have been the same watch we see him wearing at
: the Vienna Auto Show with Nina Rindt ?

:

: a Twin Plane Navitimer ref. 806 ;)
