I was in the AD yesterday in New Jersey, who a good friend of mine. While shopping for the wife, he brought out form the back a 2009 brand new Chronomat Limited Edition of 300 pieces. It was the Chronomat with Rhodium Dial and Silver Subs, but the hands in the sub dials were all RED. And the sweeping second hand had a RED tip, I would say about a third of the way down to the end. WOW...! This thing was awesome, the RED hands just popped off the dial. He gave me a little background on the watch, (just an FYI this guy gets invited to any and all Breitling events in Switzerland and to Basel every year by Breitling, so I take what he says like the Bible). The watch I was looking at was number 260 of 300, sticker with steel bracelet was around $6100.00 USD. He told me that of the 300 pieces made only 50 were allocated to the United States. I of course did not have my phone in the store with me and did not get a picture of it. I am going to take a ride back today and get a shot of it, so you can all see it. If anyone has a picture or any information on this watch please post. I almost pulled the trigger, the discount was good and it was a beautiful piece.

I believe that they were all for the US market because it is a BUSA LE.

From memory 250 regular ones and 50 with diamond bezels.

I tried on one of the limited edition WG chronomat evo's last week

This particular one was no 14/100...and felt amazing.

Was discounted from 13k down to 10k but still way out my price range unfortunately.

I was at the mall a couple of weeks ago here and the dealer had one in stock there as well. I had seen pics online for a long time but it was the first time I had seen one in person. The discount was reasonable, and saving sales tax makes it sweeter if shipped out of state. PM me if you want his info.
