It looks really fishy to me, but I am no expert... Kinda resembles what I want to buy, but it doesn't seem legit:

http://cgi.ebay.com/BREITLING-WINDRIDER-CHRONOMAT-EVO-RETAIL-5-900-00-/280620255394?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item41564548a2

Thanks in advance for the help!

Its real but the description is incorrect. Its an early Chronomat model from before 1993 (given its missing the B logo from the sec hand), not a newer B13356 Evolution version and therefore the retail price of 6000 dollars is incorrect.

:yeahthat

Looks like a B13047. Definitely not a B13356.

Ended without any bids.

It's older than '91 (81.950 or double ref# with B13047), in '91 catalog Chronomats have logo on the Chrono seconds hand. (Altro's great article which says that logos on the Chrono seconds hand begun with 13048 is not correct in that detail).

Thank you very much guys. I definitely don't a watch that's this old, even if it's legit.
