Some 18 mounts ago I found my longed for chrono-matic 24 h.

In these 18 mounts my glycine airman vintage v had some 18 days
of wrist time.

For the rest I just couldn't part with this great watch.
Sometimes I just took it with me to bed.
For me it's one of the best 24 hour watches Breitling ever made.
Although they probably will manage to surprise me in the nearby future. (for instants with the unitime or toptime 24 h)

Every now and than I search the net for the chrono-matic 24 h.
Just to keep track so to say.
Sunday I found some awful sites that sell a fake version of this
great Breitling. On first glance I thought they used a picture of the real version to sell some crappy made fake Breitling
but when studying it some more I noticed it was a "real" fake! (bad B logo, red date, no part of the number 24 hour,
strange triangle shape at 12, black on hands etc.)

They ask 200 dollar for the watch so it probably isn't that great when you have it up close.
The fake will have a lifespan of 18 months and you sure won't where it in bed.
One also has to wonder if it is really a 24 hour watch!!
I'm glad I have the real thing!

Sorry to hear that but it is also a sign that 24HR LTD is popular because they usually fake watches that are in demand...

Anyways great watch...One of my Ling grails...just love the look of it... :-!

http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/4142/ch24jw4.jpgHi, Lou. The bezel design on that gorgeous piece is the cat's meow as far as I'm concerned. IMHO, best on a Navi, period. The rest of the watch is also top shelf with one small caveat, I don't care for the left hand crown. Other than that, that watch is PREEEEEMO! :-! Would love to see a pic of it on black OEM calf or croco... Please?.. ;-) :thanks
Cheers, mate.
