Breitling Navitimer – service question

Hi, there. I took my Breitling with a B17 movement in for regulation. It was running over +6 seconds a day. My watchmaker called me to say he’s testing my watch. He told me that fully wound, it runs at +1 s/day and as the power reserve drops, it speeds up to +4 to +5 s/day. He offered to adjust it slightly into the minus to see how it performs for me, though he mentioned running slow isn’t great. In the end, he told me to just leave it to him.

Should I leave it to him, or should I tell him…

The Battle of the AVI re-editons

I am lucky enough to own both the Breitling AVI 765 1953 Re-edition (1 of 1953) and the 1964 Re-edition (1 of 164).

Both are limited editions, recreations of these classic models from Breitling’s AVI range.

However, I have to slim down my collection and probably have to let one of these beauties go. I am having a very hard time deciding which one and would highly appreciate any input!
