I am just a weekend hunter but I did have a good 2008 so last weekend I hunted for 6 hours and about 4 hours in I hit this watch
it's was running when I found it but stop after 15 min. so I went to a watch repair store and just got it back today and it's working great.

AWSOME FIND!!!
My only issue is that this is an automatic watch, to find it running would be extremely odd considering the reserve power on a Auto is around 24hrs. give or take..but what the heck. Breitling is a great watch that should give you a life time of good service, you might as well have found a Rolex because this is every bit as good a watch... :thumbsup:

Maybe not odd at all....in that if it was rolling around in a trough or even dragging back and forth in a lull..it would have enough momentum to stay wound
