I think it's both the brand...

Another Observation on the 30t2rg Scientific dial Chronometre
Seems like the sub-second version typically came with the small subsecond chapter, not the oversize chapter. That is a shame. Any comments on that. bob

An observation

Oversized Minute bit
Bill, The Chronometre with the oversized sub bit that I was referring to was is in a 35mm case. Have you ever seen the large bit in a 35mm? Crownguard
To Confirm
Wow, what a watch! Just to confirm, your's is the 35.5mm (without crown) version? No matter the size it is a dream. Crownguard
It doesn't belong to me.
Hi Crownguard. I lost the fierce battle in Jordan last year and what left for me are some pics. I also have 3 sub second versions which look like Mike's and some 35mm SC with "Scientific Dial"....
