There's a very good fake of the Flying B Chrono, and I don't know what the giveaways are, so don't know about this one.

Surprisingly, seller has responded as follows:

yes, I have all of the original paperwork I may have to look for the box though.

Maybe it's legit?

Like Roff I'm not certain of the flaws on a really good rep but I don't see anything on this that stands out as a fake. I would say real.

Only flaw on the replica I'm aware of is that the date wheel is red rather than maroon.

This one looks OK but colours can always be adjusted in Photoshop so general advice is to only buy a Flying B Chrono with papers.

Seller has just sent me another note:

Dear goonermike,

I do have the box as well


- 323jeff7898

So it seems legit...

I'd still have to see pictures. Plus the price is kind of out there for a used one. I've seen them sell for as low as $4000 used.
My AD offered me a new one for $6900, I would suggest being pretty cautious without knowing the seller or see authenticated pictures with b&p.
