The pictures are from a real old Chronomat Blackbird. Do You trust the seller, that You will get the exact same watch, as on the picture?
Remember, that its already an old watch, and You will probably have to invest in a service. That will cost additional 400 to 800 bucks...

Something doesn't seem right...

Older model Breitlings were not COSC certified. Don't COSC certified Breitlings all specify "Chronometre" on the dial?

The older Blackbird model spans the start of all watches being COSC certified - they were first available pre COSC and continued post COSC. I'm not sure whether the dial was updated to reflect the start of certification so it may not be an issue - although the yellow on what you can see of the certificate does look a little washed out.

That's A13350 which is COSC, with older dial model.
Newer version is A13353. It has 'chronometre' written on the dial and slightly modified bezel, hands and pushpieces.

Thank you all for your help. I think i will just wait and see on this watch, as iam not in a big hurry and would rather spend more for one that i have no question of its authenticity or value.
