Nice one James! I've always preferred the older style Chrono Matic compared to the newer more angular version. The closest thing Breitling have made to your one in recent years was a limited edition Chrono Matic in 2004. But that's an original you've got there. Very nice indeed! :thumbsup:

Oh sportback, you have so much to learn about the older models :roll: - the winder is correct, the problem is that they put the case on where the face should go and then had to put the dial on the back of the watch so in fact the winder is right but the watch is back to front. :lol:

I hope the piece is actually in that shape when you receive it!

Wow!

Wow, a little bit of a price increase over the original 620 Francs. :shock: Nice piece though but remember these have been sitting around for thirty years and a proper service (oiling) is recommended as to avoid any premature wear. Good luck with your new (vintage) Breitling!
