Hi all,
What do you think of this one?
Seems correct to my limited knowledge, right?

Hi!
To the best of my knowledge, the chronograph bridge should not be signed, for that period.

Well it says "Geneve" on it and it has a serial number from 1945....

Redial : for a 1945 Chronomat, Breitling in cursive , no Geneve. +217012 would be slightly incurved for a post 1952 dial
Aftermarket hands , wrong design .
Engraved chrono bridge ok , appeared in 1945 Chronomat

redial & VERY incorrect hands; BUT:
we see very correct steel chronomat 769 w/ mid 40s cases nd the correct Geneve dial and hands used from 1953 to the end of production in 1957.

actually do not remember a post 1950 steel 769 case ;)

Breitling went overboard w/ the mid 40s production quantities on these and used up the cases over a bit more than a decade, even longer than w/ the 765AVI.

tricky ;)

It's for sure a complicate subject, recognizing the right ones. Fortunately there is this forum and the well educated vintage breitling identifiers ;)

I am really happy being a part of this forum and digitally getting trained about vintage B's
