Never heard of them Frans most probably a ETA 2836-2 with the year month complication. It don't look like a chrono dial,or even a functional chronograph,so rule out any of the Valjoux movements.And the only other Breytenbach I know was a writer

Never heard of them but they seem to have quite a selection of models at http://www.bensontrade.nl/. Click through Producten/Horologes/Breytenbach.

I like the model and crown, the dial is a little busy and reminds me of an older type chronograph. Breyten Breytenbach?

Well Frans just checked Eds link and its a ETA 2836,so sorry it cannot possibly be a chronograph.But the 2836-2 is capable of chronometer standards, but would seriously doubt if they were tested just too expensive.

I can't figure out what the subdial at 9 is all about. Unless it's reading the day of the week. The subdial at 3 is the date; the 6 subdial must be a 24 hr hand. So the pushers must be for setting the subdials.
Have I got that right?

The subdials at nine are the days of the week 7 stands for Sunday.Subs at 6 just follows the main hour hand.Definitely not a chronograph.

That's what I like about you, Frans. You have a well developed command of the obvious.

It's a different looking watch, Fransie. I've never heard of the brand though.

Is that a polite way in saying it's fugly? Well, bar the crowded dial, I like it! I think it's a fantasy brand. Like there are so many these days. With fantasy I mean that a trading company just picks some models from a generic catalogue and orders dials with 'a' name on it. We could do this as well, a TRF watch like the Speedbird watches from Time Factors

I just lull you to sleep with compliments and then take my rightful place on the tosser list. Above you, you're getting old How obvious is that, tosser?
