Well this is a fair comparison, although yours should be less as this has TT bracelet and SS bezel - http://cgi.ebay.ca/Breitling-auto-Chron ... 27ae84c1d5



Wow... That watch was a steal...

I don't know to be honest. Given the condition and the economy there are more of these selling at the low end. The unusual and well loved examples are holding up, but like vintage pieces, if it doesn't stand out then it isn't getting the money.

Definitely lower than I expected for TT, but I'm not sure that it's a steal - I guess ultimately the market dictates!

I agree on that to a point roff I dont think they are making what they are worth at all.But the again as you say the market decides not me.

It really depends who is buying at the moment...

I still think it was great deal for someone..

As for the watch that is the topic of this posting I think that there are a couple of problems with it.

First the serial number is missing on the case back. At least I can't see it.

Second the markers on the dial do not look correct, it's like they were added after the fact.
