Crown is definitely wrong.

I suspect that the photos are deliberate to highlight the strengths and attempt to hide the weaknesses.

If he would throw in a 1952 one owner 806 with full B&P including original sales receipt I might do that deal :lol: :wink:

I've always wondered when Breitling first started using signed crowns on the chrono's, ?

It was just pointed out to me that you shouldn't see both Fab Suisse and Swiss Made on the same dial but if you look carefully you can see at the very bottom of the dial 'Swiss Made'. So I guess we can assume the dials a redo also? Guess I'll have to reduce my offer significantly. :)

Must be - I missed the Swiss Made first time out. It's a very good redial though.

. . . it's a moonphase at all. The model 799 in my 1946 catalog just has a date wheel/register at 12. And why is there 1964 paperwork for a 1947 watch?

I think that the paperwork is from service, it's a one year guarantee.
