Hey Guys,

Does this chronomat look real or fake?

Can't seem to find the same face layout on others.

:yeahthat

While there are some minor diffences (see, minute markings at 9 sub dial) the early Chronomat spanned 12 years so there are some slight variations over the years. Looks good to me but I'd wait for some guys like Sharkmouth and WatchFred to chime in. Still, I can't fathom how the fake industry could have produced that one so long ago or why they would now.

It's a B13050.

Does this particular model suppose to come with a SS/Gold band too?

It's real and a two tone band would have been an option.

clearly real, though I am by far not an expert for these youngsters like Sharkmouth, Roff or ade113, there seem to be no decent fakes of watches of this period and the FrankenIndustries in South America, Turkey or Italy can not get period parts resembling these to produce their monsters.

That's a completely different watch.
