The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello--

I'm very, very, very new to Breitling vintage but fell for the look of a beautiful Chrono 2 being sold but would like some help validating it's authenticity and getting additional info from those more knowledgeable than I am--a few notes:

** The bars are fixed
** The caseback doesn't have numbers but reads "FOND ACIER" and "INOXYDABLE" on two lines and appears to be in pretty new condition (maybe a replacement?)
** I'm guessing the dial may have been refinished, as well as the hands

Pictures below/attached (some came from the original ad) and I welcome thoughts and any info on this model and possible year. Like I said I stumbled on it and loved the look of the dial, although the smaller size surprised me a bit. Happy to take other iphone pix as helpful.

Many thanks for taking the time and expertise.

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

The dial is very badly redone and I don't believe that watch started life as a Breitling. Would be interesting to know if there are any numbers on the inside of the caseback, but doubt that it will change my mind.

Thanks for your note and I appreciate your feedback and welcome others, please.

There are no engraved numbers in the caseback, only lightly etched ones as if they were scratched in by a watchmaker etc.

Thanks

never came near a Breitling workshop, I'm afraid.
