I’m restoring a Breitling Chronomat reference number B13047 equipped with movement Valjoux 7750. This particular movement is the old Valjoux version with 17 jewels. The new movement has 25 jewels. Year of production is early 90s.
The watch is heavily used and has several deep scratches. It has not been serviced throughout the last decades. The movement is very dirty and dry like a desert. Neither oil nor any lubricant exist anymore.
As usual I will try my best to make the wristwatch nice again.
Hope you enjoy the restoration 😊
