Is this genuine?, it looks like a real vintage Chrono-matic but the tachymeter scale is a nonsense on a non-chronograph. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Breit ... 500wt_1156 |

Believe it or not, it's perfectly correct. One of the weird Breitlings from the 70s. |

One of the things I look for on fakes is errors and inconsistencies such as a useless tachymeter on a non-chrono. So sometimes even Breitling make the same mistakes as fakers. |

I remember this one... If I'm correct it's got this really huge bridge on the movement? It's very nice... |

I really like this watch. There's a certain understated elegance to it. |
