Hi guys, I just came across a Chrono-matic Bullhead Ref. 2117 by a private seller in Thailand (I'm based here). I own a Navitimer, but am very new to vintage pieces, and also to this forum. Do you find anything of this watch fake or non-original? (I don't mind the strap and buckle though.) Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Nice catch , congrats! H & M hands come from a Navitimer 7806 , correct ones for Pult are orange on white batons . |

as Phil says, basically a very nice looking and rare piece, the main hands are incorrect - correct hands can and should be found. to really evaluate the watch we would need a movement shot to make sure the movement is correct. |

Phil! WatchFred! Thank you. I haven't set the deal with the seller yet. For the movement's picture, I'll ask him once I've decided to buy it. The issue now is how and where I can find the correct hands. I googled and looked through ebay but couldn't find them. Any advice about this? |

Get it opened before setting the price! Movement picture will allow you to check if the movement has the proper engravings - Breitling Cal 11 ( if movement color is silver ) or Cal 12 ( if movement color is gold ) . Many Bullheads have been assembled individually by using spares a long time after L G Breitling closure . No matter if it is a Cal 11 or 12 inside . if you do not see the correct engravings, it is not a reason to cancel the deal, but a good reason to negociate a lower price . Some engraved genuine parts are sometimes popping up but not often . For genuine hands , I remember that significant NOS quantities have been sold out in 2014 - 2015 by watchcoaustralia / abouttime.ch , so there is a reasonable chance that some will pop up on eBay in the near future . Estimated price cut due just to non original hands = -200€ / if also non original chronograph bridge => - 600 to 800€ |
