··I don't see any option in settings or profileHaven't looked inside yet, but I'm guessing on a 2852/505 combo. But it stays - warts n'all.

·Scrolled through some pics this morning, and since I haven’t added to this thread in a while, here are a couple Constellations:
2648:
2887 (left) with what’s admittedly a brown, not a black dial, and a 2652 on the right:
And a 14381 with black railtrack dial, now in the hands of a fellow member here:

"Established in 1933, Kronometer Stockholm was a prominent Swedish retailer and distributor for Breitling in Sweden. The company specialized in the import and sale of watches for both professional and civilian use, until it ceased operations in the seventies. Many of the Breitling watches featured both the Breitling and Kronometer Stockholm logos on their dials, while others displayed the Kronometer Stockholm logo exclusively."
The company “Kronometer Stockholm” was founded in 1933 and where in business until 1976. In the beginning of Kronometer Stockholms history they mostly handled the transactions for workwatches, stopwatches, labwatches, different watches for ships, pocket watches and chronograph-based watches for measuring time. But times changed and so did the companies focus hence they switched to wristwatches which in late 1950s and 60s where there main business. Kronometer Stockholm chose to put even more focus on chronographs to the private market and opened their own shop on Roslagsgatan 9 in Stockholm during the 1960s. They mostly sold expensive pieces through their contract with Breitling. Many of these Chronographs both had Breitling and Kronometer Stockholm logo on their dials.
Kronometer Stockholm soon felt the hard sting of competition when other retailers and importers grew stronger. The companies investment in the private market showed to be too difficult and the company made one final attempt to sell their watches to one of the government run companies; “Televerket”
