Breitling Chrono Cockpit Men ' S Chronograph Solid Stainless & 18K Gold - Repair
Item History & Price
My own watch so 1 owner. Late 90s as I recall.
I had it appraised at $2, 750 recently -- see photos of appraisal. Needless to say 100% genuine.
Classy manual midsize (37mm, 40mm w crown) Breitling pilot's chrono. Stainless steel and solid 18k gold.
Only issue is that chrono hands are loose and when you reset the chrono, they don't always fly back to zero. If that's important to you, you can have a jeweler push them in tighter (I wa...s told by my jeweler they appear loose on the pivots and G-forces when you reset cause them to "overfly" zero)
Other than that, looks great and completely operational. Crown even screws in for water-tightness, albeit with some force required.
