It looks kind of like the pre 2001 Aerospace model but the bezel looks like that of a Hercules. The plane on the dial throws me... as does the bezel... as does my lack of knowledge on the brand... |

I would think it is a LE and the plane looks like a vintage Air Racer ?...closest I could find is this Breitling B-1 which was issued to the crew of the Lockheed Martin Lightning F-35hand6.gif  Attachment: B-lightning2a.jpg (Downloaded 39 times) |

I'm going to look at the watch tomorrow and take my own pics of the caseback and see what paperwork is there. |

it does. Is there a site for breitling info on all of there older models? I'm really interested in this one. if its real, it will brighten up my mood and I won't have to stir things up. Monday I ruptured a lumbar disc during physical therapy so I'm somewhat testy today. |

Thats what I thought. Its not the 1st time. After the 1st neck fusion another cervical popped and I had to have that one fixed. |

I have been avoiding the neck fusion so far, but with 3 ruptured cervical discs they want me under the knife. Good luck Sean, hope you feel better. Best regards, Griff |

I still say there is a correlation between cervical issues and watch collecting... there are a lot of us here with varying degrees of issues. I've had PT and have a home traction device when needed. Have avoided the knife so far.. knock wood.... coyote2.gif |

Jeez guys, sorry to hear about the dodgy spine problems. One of the 5 degrees I have (My dad always said I have more degrees than a thermometer) is a Doctor of Chiropractic. The others are combined Honours BSc, MSc, MBA and PhD all engineering (offshore) related, but I digress. Whether you like Chiropractors or not, my one piece of advice is stay away from the knife unless it is the absoilute last option you have. Try traction, try flexion / distraction, try a cold beer, anything but surgery until you have exhaused all the options (I'm joking about the beer). Too may failed spinal surgeries out there. Are they needed? Actually sometimes yes but it should never be the first option. When I was practicing I saw too many people who had surgery and a couple of years later were in the same if not worse condition because the adjoining joints had become hypermobile after the surgery or excessive scar tissue had built up around the IVFs and was causing nerve compression.

well, its never a 1st option, but when 4,5 and c-6 are ruptured with bone spurs and pt makes it worse, theres only one option. the risk isn't the surgery on cervicals at all. thats outpatient surgery with a high success rate. its the risk of c3 or c7 rupturing during rehab. c3 ruptured on me and required another fusion. its pts fault on the lumbar rupture. I'm not having that fixed. I'll go to another facility and rehab there. this place I'm at now is interested in the bottom line, not your health. |
