Hi fellow watch lovers, Your opinion needed: just found this piece on an eastern European online auction site. Brief description says: Breitling Chronomat 769 from 1945, Venus 175, original dial and hands. A replacement bronze / gold plated (?) bezel with crystal is included in the sale. Caseback reads: "fund acier inoxyoabie 769". Just serviced, runs beautifully. The pictures are not the greatest quality, and unluckily no picture of the movement, either. Hurt me!  Thanks |

Maybe due to the pics but the bezel looks as an handcraft replacement , not original . It could explain the extra bezel ? |

Thanks for your input; For some reason it hasn't attached the replacement bezel, i'm attaching again. Do you think that's original? Do the other parts look all right? As an enthusiastic newbie, i studied Alan Trott's article on the Chronomat history on watchuseek, however most details look ok, i still can't decide whether the hands are ok? The dial seems correct (even though it's a bit tatty), can't decide the case, the crown.. a bit still confused to be honest. Many Thanks for your efforts in helping an eager wannabe Breitling expert
