I like the model and crown, the dial is a little busy and reminds me of an older type chronograph. Breyten Breytenbach?

Well Frans just checked Eds link and its a ETA 2836,so sorry it cannot possibly be a chronograph.But the 2836-2 is capable of chronometer standards, but would seriously doubt if they were tested just too expensive.

I can't figure out what the subdial at 9 is all about. Unless it's reading the day of the week. The subdial at 3 is the date; the 6 subdial must be a 24 hr hand. So the pushers must be for setting the subdials.

Have I got that right?

I just lull you to sleep with compliments and then take my rightful place on the tosser list. Above you, you're getting old How obvious is that, tosser?
