809 has the 24 hr. dial. This watch is wrong as the price is wrong by the seller. I will politely let them know.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/400715517274 Just arrived on ebay. Assume this is the wrong case back? Also small seconds hand looks like a replacement? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I had posted a similar query last year about a 806 with 809 caseback but there seemed to be no conclusive answers. Now that's a second example with similar attributes, so maybe Kurt could enlighten us if was something that could have occurred when they transitioned? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46742 |

The first question I ask on these is whether the movement runs as a 24 hour watch or a 12 hour watch. Often seller just make sure they run and don't check the hour hand carefully. I have seen enough of these 809 806's over the years to think they were made that way but they almost always have the 24 hour movement. Less desireable than a 'normal' version? I'd say so. |

The serials also seem to be relatively quite close to about 30,000 chronos. Wonder what serials the Cosmonautes start at. Example 1: ser 990811 Example 2: ser 1020672 minusing the two = approx 30k watches between each other, the 30k I understand is all types of Breitling chronos, not just Cosmos and Navis. |

You're ignoring non chrono and not sure that I would consider separation of a year or so "relatively close". |

Another one! http://www.ebay.com/itm/380907551000 Some surely must be 'cobbled' together with wrong case backs dials etc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
