Everything looks right to me but I may be wrong.

Ive just picked up one of these, Chrono Colt 2 on the Pro 2 brac...stamped and dated Warranty book perforated numbers and Chrono cert match + all the bumf etc....

Question this is a Chrono Colt 2 reference, yet the case is stamped between the lugs 24/05
And the bracelet ends are stamped 24/05
Which I take to mean produced 24th week of 2005

Warranty papers are dated September 2005.....
Yet everything I read says this model wasn't released until 2006 ???????????

It's a A73380
White dial blue subs on pro 2

Help please

It's a long way back for my memory, but I think that it was a mid year introduction so that makes sense - first appeared in 2006 Chronolog / pricelists but physically available earlier. It may even have been in the 2005 Runway.

Oh.... Ok..... Was just crapping myself I'd bought the best fake ever ! ;-)

The paperwork was dated end of Sept 2005 from Jaffar (big Breitling agent in the middle east) and I was getting very very uneasy about it, having read everywhere that this was a 2006 launched model.

As I said both the bracelet link and 6oclock lugs are stamped 24 05
So mid year 2005.

Many thanks Roff......(edit And confirmed with Breitling UK today (9/2/12) :-) produced and for sale in 2005)
:D
I'm just so paranoid !
