That's how they come from the factory mate. All Breitling do cosmetically is engrave it

They don't even do that :) all they do is assemble the watches. They don't even engrave it eta do it for them :whistle:

at the end of the day they're making a profit for the breitling name and good luck to them :)

But comparing a 7750 to the higher versions isn't justified.

RD, I fold,I can't beat that as I Got the stuff today (25 Jewel Movement and Baton/Black Chronomat dial) There was only one pusher and the crown (was supposed to get two pushers and no crown ..so thats a push)_and decided to do a build that Breit doesnt make, Using a Titanium chrono Avenger and safety orange limed subdial hands to match the sweep, Probably list the gen crown and pusher when I get past this building craze (or it will be at my estate sale)

Just waiting for the lume...This will be a custom Franken not found in the wild project..
