Hey Guys,

I'm not interested in buying this watch, but I did want to know if this is real. I've never seen a case back like this on a Chronomat, not that it means that much.

The watch is real but I'm not sure is bezel is aftermarket. The caseback looks familiar, maybe some special edition.

That must be some kind of retailer promo piece - hence the Not for Sale on the back. The US and Canadian dealer ones had the same wording.

That's interesting. I've never seen that before, I guess it makes sense. For example, there are salesmen samples for Superbowl rings which sell for a fraction of what the real thing sells for. They also have CZ's rather than diamonds.

Didn't mean to imply that these were 'samples', more a promo LE for ADs.
