Is this all as it should be opinions please sellers desription This is one of three watches were currently listing that came from a recent Probate job we did.This one is an old steel/gold Breitling Chronomat in pretty good condition.The watch probably dates to the 1980s or 90s.Ive been wearing this watch over xmas and it seems to work ok and keep good time and all the chronograph functions work ok.The only real faults with it are the gold plate on the 4 pointers on the bezel is wearing off and the winder doesnt seem to be the screw down type.I know the old Breitling chronos used gold plated fittings but im not sure if they had a screw down crown or not,i know the modern ones do.All that said wether the crown screws down or not it doesnt seem to make any difference to the way the watch works other than it may compromise the waterproofing of the watch.The watch has a replacement thick non breitling strap as the old one was completly knackered and was only fit for the bin.The case has a bit of light scratching on the back comensurate with age and use but nothing major or that would detract .All in all this is a nice quality watch that seems to work ok and will be a cheap buy for somebody. As with all our items they are guaranteed to be genuine and your more than welcome to come to the shop and view before bidding. and those all important pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Maybe Replica identification section would be more appropriate. |

Well this is a fair comparison, although yours should be less as this has TT bracelet and SS bezel - http://cgi.ebay.ca/Breitling-auto-Chron ... 27ae84c1d5 |

Maybe slightly cheap, but not really for an early modern Chronomat. This one looks to be in better condition / more recent - http://www.chrono24.com/en/search/index ... esults=288 |

Condition doesn't look too bad, could clearly use a little TLC, but it's a 20+ year old watch so understandable. It would be worth more if the bezel were aligned ![]() |
