Yes it's 100% genuine. I saw it at Las Vegas AD. I didn't ask the model number :(

I think it may be difficult to find that watch at a grey market dealer with only 200 around.

If you like it buy it! But there are cooler limited edition Chronomats out there. IMO

There are a few of these on eBay now, if you want to do a little comparison shopping.

I like this limited edition better with Breitling's signature yellow accents and a display back. There's only 50 of these.

Yup, it was part of a limited edition that my AD had made. I know there are still plenty available. The thing I really like about this one is that it's all brushed.

While a nice, sharp looking watch $9k seems very high IMHO-

Looks nice but 9k is a bit high, IMHO.

I'd go for a standart Chronomat for much less.

It's a great watch, heavy with a presence. I bought my Chronomat Evolution and happily wore it for many years.

Issue is... no real secondary market that's worth paying anything more than 30% off retail (worst case).

As we say - buy it for the love of the watch, not the investment.

On limited editions, only buy it if you like the watch...not for possible re-sale or appreciation in value.
