    Breitling Emergency

    Hello

    Only joined this site last week after being pointed here by a fellow watch *geek*.

    I'm currently looking for a Breitling Emergency e56321( pref yellow dial ) and was hoping to have a look here but seems i need to wait 2 months.

    I've spotted a few on EBAY and various dealer sites but unsure of a fair price for the full kit with a fresh service/battery change, can anyone please advise.

    Help Appreciated

    Very rare that the yellow dial ones come up on here. I can remember only one in the last 4 years or so. There's a few grey/blue dial versions floating about amongst members if any of them ever feel like shifting them

    Cheers, i guess the yellow being the one people hang on to ( or crash into ground wearing ) ha.

    I've pondered the other dials but if spending that (2-3k) might as well get the one i really want.

    Welcome, a great choice of watch and in the best colour too. I'm afraid to say that mine fits the bill perfectly but unfortunately its not for sale as I like it too much. I'll keep my eyes open for you.

    Been there, done that - Three times!

    Yellow on ProII - Superb, but still yellow...



    Grey on ProI - still with a member on here...



    My biggest selling regret - blue dial...

    Perhaps more will become available for sale when the new model comes out this year.

    I reckon @ 12k the price of the old versions may well go up.

    Not sure about that as I believe the frequency is not being monitored anymore, or due to stop being monitored. Either way I am sure this would stop these watches heading upwards as their main selling point is/will be redundant.

    TBH they are more of a collectors item than a useful Emergency Beacon , the best tech on the planet and search teams failed to find a huge jet a few months ago so these watches are not ideal and some luck plays a part.

    121,5 MhHz will still be monitored but not from satellite since 2009, search teams would still poke around for it tho ( ariel and ground ).

    Taken this very morning.

    NOS 2012 still in warranty and due a free service sometime before 2016 full set Titanium bracelet UK.

    Have on the new BLK/YELL leather rubberised strap.



    What a summer watch, going up in value classics like these.

    If activated they will come, loads of chat about this but it's still monitored.
