Was just looking at the 08' chronolog and showing my wife's aunt my SA in the book (and in person). She instantly said "the wings on yours are much bigger than in the picture." I grabbed the 07' chronolog and saw the same result. Anyone else notice this? The size of the wings logo is very different. The only Breitling I have is the SA and I am wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing on another model as compared to the catalog? I bought mine in Aug 07. Did Breitling change the size just prior? And if so, why not update the photo's in the "official" chronolog?
Breitling will sometimes update the styling of a particular model and not change the Chronolog photograph to match. The size of the wings logo on the SA is an example. The logo was enlarged in size about a year ago. Other models have had the sweep seconds chrono hand changed from a red tipped "box" shape to a red tipped arrow without a commensurate change in the Chronolog photograph as well. As written here on the forum, the actual production date of your Breitling can be determined by decoding the four digit number lightly engraved on the case between the south interhorns. Your SA will almost certainly have a number such as XX07 where the XX indicates the week (of 52) the watch was built in 2007. Hope this helps...
