    Are you being funny? Breitling has those words “Chronometre Certifie” across its models. It means Certified Chronometer. 1884 is the year the brand was founded.

    If we believe what you’re saying, then all Breitling models are all faux 1884 Chronometre Certifie. [emoji2957]

    Common, bro. You do know the folks who post here so you know who to ask. Hehehe

    Below is the Chronomat 41 with the Breitling B01 movement.



    The model you posted has the B04 movement with an extra GMT complication similar to this limited edition Chronomat 44 GMT.

    In fact, the Chronomat is Breitling’s best selling model. It even beats the Navitimer in sales. The Chronomat has Breitling’s in-house movements which are admired in the industry.

    The Chronomat retails for around 400k to 500k locally. Baka naka sale sa Costco.

    I don’t profess to be a connoisseur of time pieces or pretend to be an expert on anything here, but I’m almost sure it is not a Chronomat 44. It looks like to me a faux Breitling 1884 Chronometre Certifie. I saw some Colt or Superocean or Galactic that came from Korea that really look like genuine that will fetch at around Php50k but fake nonetheless. Please don’t be slighted so easily. This is a forum where everyone is free to express his opinion.

    As I have said, what you’re referring is not a model name but the certification of the watch as well as the year of foundation of the brand.

    You could have said it is a fake Chronomat or Avenger or Colt but calling it by what is written on the dial justs sounds a bit pretentious.

    I am pretty sure it is a Chronomat 44 as the 41mm models does not come with the GMT movement (extra hand in red color with an arrow head). This is a wrist shot of the Chronomat 41 when I tried it on.

    I know. i’m not that ignorant. And I perfectly understand you know about Breitling more than I do. No need to belabor anymore because it isn’t cool. I apologize i touched some nerve there. Enjoy your weekend, Brother. Chill!

    So you're saying it's a fake? Will costco be selling a fake Breitling?

    I said “it looks like”. We’re in a virtual world that anything isn’t improbable. Absolutism isn’t an absolute virtue anymore.

    Noted. But, to me, and with all due respect, it looks tawdry, not the robust, luxury real Chronomat 44.

    I don’t know how it looks up close. Sometimes, a picture doesn’t do justice to a work of art.

    Have you held one or tried on a Chronomat? Sadly, you lost credibility on this thread when you thought the COSC tag as a model name of the watch. Every watch afficionado knows what Chronometre stands for when it is indicated in the watch.

    Shadow said it was taken from Costco so it must be real. Costco is too big a chain of super stores to market fake watches for 5k USD.

    I think you’re the same person who told others that the cost of maintaining a BRZ/86 is the same as an Altis. On another thread, you mentioned also that the CX8 is a ladder frame vehicle.

    The bezel comes with a protective cover when new. It should look like this without the cover (not the exact model though).

    diba expert ang costco mag source ng quality na mura?

    dahil sa size nila meron sila clout/power to ask/make companies provide them with products that are priced lower than usual

What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]
