Hmm it looks like you are mistaken. It is a late 80's, early development chronomat. Here are several dials from the era of production. The first is identical from what I can see and the rest "in the model style" The hands look good as does the pre "B" logo second hand. The back of case has the normal gold inlay of the logo still intact. And the crown and pushers look in great shape with the gold capping still intact. Not a bad ~20+year old watch IMHO.
This might flesh out things...

Pictures could be better, and if interested I'd ask for better pics.
But i'll go along with snapit, an early Chronomat.
