Got an email today:

“What’s the value of a 1998 Breitling Windrider model # b10350 (like the picture but with gold tips, markers and hands), and where, and to whom, could I sell it? Its in good shape, ordinary wear from wearing it notwithstanding, but in surpisingly good shape. It came from Paris and has French on the back “Chronometre Officiellement Certifie”. Is this typical?
thanks for your help”

Well, to answer the question, that is Swiss-French on the back.. the one of the languages spoken in Switzerland. Its a swiss watch, not French. But Swiss-French is very much like French I am told!

Another neat tidbit 🙂
