Hello all, First time poster from Canada. I recently had the opportunity to purchase a Breitling Chronomat from an "aquaintance". I've seen the watch physically and snapped a few pics but I am still unsure as the seller said he purchased the watch from a relative hurt by the recession. I was reading through the forum and hoping maybe the group can provide their 2 cents. Thanks again and wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday! http://s1108.photobucket.com/albums/h418/jry79/ |

Plus it looks like you small second hand isn't running but the other sub-dials are. I could be completely off with all if this, so I'd wait for more seasoned experts. |

Don't over complicate it - just look at the subdials. |

Thank you everyone, I didn't expect such a quick response. I totally appreciate your input, I'll let the seller be aware of this issue. Thanks again, Jerry |
