Hi all!

I am a rookie in the Breitling field, to date my humble colletion has been vintage Heuer, but now I am in the market for a vintage Breitling.

I fout one(did not buy it yet) but i wonder if the "small seconds" is correct, its white and in pitures I have seen its orange! did they make a versin with white also?

Thanks in advance from a Breitling rookie in Sweden

Bst Regards
Toni

Less common, but not a problem - there were white ones.

Of course I would need to see more than just the face before I could say with confidence that the watch was OK, but the white seconds hand is no problem.

Looks right for an early 70s Chronomatic. A serial number would be helpful to definitively date and a movement photo would also be nice.

The bracelet is period correct - though I struggle to believe that it's original in that condition.

Thanks for info, You think that the bracelet is "aftermarket" or a NOS that they put on it?

Will try to get serial and movement pic, but I cat get it until next week.

Thanks a lot for this info :canada

I think it's likely NOS - don't know of any fakes of this bracelet.
