Help Need with this old Breitling...

HI Guys

This is my first post in this section as I normally stick to Rolex, but I'm hoping a little information could be shed on this old Breitling Chrono..

Can anyone give me clues as to what it is?
Is it as should be?
Value?






Thanks in advance guys

Looks very interesting, I'm sorry I can't provide you with any help.

Hi - I did just that and response was that I'd purchased a 'franken watch,'

Luckily - when I contacted the seller I purchased it from, I was able to get a full refund....

I'm glad.

The dial, movement and caseback have all got serious issues.

It almost appears to modeled off the Rolex Antimagnetic chrono (the model number escapes me as I type this), from the pushers to the case shape and dial layout!
Good to hear your funds were re-imbersed!

That's what caught my eye to it in the first place ( being closely modelled to the Antimagnetic Rolex Chrono)

The seller was actually a great guy, even when I told him about the comments on the Breitling forum.

My heart said keep to Rolex - but my head said I'd never afford one and there are plenty models very close.... Providing you don't purchase a dud that is!

A lesson learned....Now you'll be better informed in the future~!
At least this one didn't end up costing valuable funds.
