http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1967-HU ... 27c7f529bc

among the worst examples I have seen, but the 4k+ seller is enthusiastic !

claim:
"HERE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VINTAGE CHRONOGRAPHS AND WHAT A COLLECTORS DREAM COME TRUE!! "
"FABULOUS 1968 VINTAGE THREE REGISTER HIGH GRADE “BREITLING” CHRONOGRAPH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH FANTASTIC FACTORY ORIGINAL DIAL!"

and, somewhere in the description text: "THE ORIGINAL OWNER DID NOT LIKE THE SLIDE RULE BEZEL AND HAD A CUSTOM – PERFECT FITTING – GORGEOUS PERMENANT ALL STAINLESS STEEL BEZEL MADE AND INSTALLED AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC ON THIS RARE HUGE OVERSIZED VINTAGE CHRONOMAT!! WOW – GOOD LUCK! "

reality: :wowzers
