Ok I think I found one http://cgi.ebay.com/BREITLING-Chronogra ... 500wt_1156 The spelling is really something and the pictures are obviously blurred on purpose. |

Pretty sure the strap at least, is genuine,normal length returns,and the branding looks to be correct. |

Looks real to me but the hang tag looks a contemporary one and out of place. It says the crown, pushers and rider tabs are solid gold, which I don't think is true. They only gold plated I believe. |

Hard to tell from those pics. The watch looks like a genuine Chronomat from the mid/late '90s but the MB339 case back was, AFAIK, only used on the very first (modern) Chronomats from 1984/85. I suspect better pics would show it to be genuine but with a replacement case back. |

It is a fake: It has the back of the Blue Angels, but a regular dial.... BG Alien |

Quote: It is a fake: It has the back of the Blue Angels, but a regular dial.... I think you're mistaken Alien. This is the Blue Angels Chronomat case back...  This is the case back in the auction  Which looks the same as the first Chronomat case back to me.  This case back has a MB-339 silhouette which the Blue Angels have never flown. |
