The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The bezel is different, too. The CG has the Buck Rogers bezel. This watch has a CC bezel.

Or perhaps it's actually a Chrono Cockpit except for the dial. Really, we don't know. Assuming the CC and CG have the same case, the only parts that distinguish the two models are the hands, dial and bezel. Two out of the three variables here are that of the Cockpit. Only the dial is that of a Galactic. On balance, it would seem it's a CC that got a dial change at some point, either on purpose or by mistake. But again, we don't really know, and neither does the seller. All we know is it's got elements of both models, which technically makes it other than what is listed in the seller's description. And I think we both agree that's not good for the buyer, unless he's a pretty savvy one.

i'm confused now

I know. We've gone back and forth on it so many times. Here's the lowdown, as I see it. The listing says it's a Chrono Galactic. It's got a Chrono Galactic dial, but the bezel and hands are that of a Chrono Cockpit. The case is (or appears to be) the same for both models, as is the reference number. So, barring being able to look up the model associated with the serial number, that's the best we can do: either it's a CC with a CG dial, or it's a CG with CC bezel and hands. Take your pick. The whys and wherefores are a mystery. But either way...yeah, the listing is wrong.

OK, I think we've beaten this one to death. Time for egg nog and presents.

There is one under "Listing Policy Violations" for "Misleading Title" which I think is probably the most appropriate since of course it is not a Chrono Galactic.

This is consistent with Breitling updating a watch when they run out of old parts.

Whilst I agree the title is misleading, I don't think the seller is attempting a scam here.

Well, I will have to check the serial number...

but the bezel as it is was never used in a CC

The riders look rosegold as well.

I have no idea how I missed this before, but one of the CC pictures in the models section of this site shows a two-tone CC with a dial that is almost identical to the one on the watch being sold; the only difference is that the rings around the subdials are steel instead of gold. Did the late model CC have a dial the same as or very similar to that of the Galactic?

I think Administration probably put the wrong picture on that models page. CC doesn't /didn't come in batons. That's a CG.

Forgive me for opening this can of worms again, but...what about the bezel?
