Hi all,

I've managed to get him down to £2600 as it's on my door step.

Is this a good deal? I can't seem to find anything else that cheap especially with the bracelet in stead of leather.

All thoughts appreciated

 

Is that the Breitling automatic with the micro rotor?
So micro that it's invisible.

 

No ideal? Thought it was a standard chromatic. I don't know a great deal about them

 

= the self-winding mechanism is missing. Looks like you are considering jumping into a shark tank without a cage.

 

Another one to avoid then
Thanks

 

You need to disassemble the movement to see the micro-rotor..

 

I stand corrected about the rotor! Shark tank comment still applies though...best to know something about expensive purchases.

 

Well, you live and learn.

 

Ha, why?

 

Edited my post but you quoted it first! See above - research before buying is always essential.

 

Everything I seem to find isn't what is should be.

 

Those Chronomatic movements were Buren micro rotor 1280's with Dubois Dépraz chronograph modules riveted on top. That's why you can't actually see the rotor.

@Jon_Dong - That's because you don't have the necessary knowledge of The Force to be messing around in this galaxy.



Do you have any clue why you should or shouldn't buy that watch? For that matter, do ANY of the members posting in this thread have a grasp of these Caliber 11, 12, 14 or 15 Chromatic Group watches?

 

I am not 100% familiar with this model but the research I did seems to point in the right direction. Dial, case, hands and movement seem to check out. I saw this watch for sale here as well...

The watch is perfectly fine!

 

And on the original bracelet...!

 

Yeah, the company is based in Harrogate and has some nice watches but I know jack shit about movements and what's good and bad. That's why I've asked you fine people

 

Thanks

 

The original bracelet is worth 500 to 700 euros, the watch is worth 1.800 to 2.000 euro.

 

So....bring it down another hundred and you're golden IMO..At 2600 still not a ripoff..

 

That's what I though to be honest. There isn't anything about for less that 3000 with the bracelet and the condition
