1970's. I don't like the fact that it doesn't say Breitling on the back cover though. The seventies were a strange time for Breitling and it's hard to pin down exact models like this. I still think it would have had at least Breitling on the back but not 100% sure.

I deleted the duplicate topic.

Like Paul I don't like the caseback, not just the lack of Breitling, but also the style of the screwback notches, the Swiss Made font - it just doesn't look right. From the picture it also doesn't look like a very good fit.

The dial doesn't look too bad, if it's a redial then it's a good one. The movement - I'm not sure, again the bridge stamp is better than most of the fakes, but it doesn't look refined enough to be right. That said, as Paul said, the 70s were a very turbulent time for Breitling so there were some oddball pieces - but I'm not prepared to say that this is definitely real.
