Seriously doubt that anyone would go to all that trouble to fake this particular model, as even for a genuine Breitling sweep seconds time-only dress watch this is an optimistic asking price. That being said, it looks good and original to me, although I am hardly an expert.
Best,

Looks totally correct to me. Likely mid 50s and I believe that it's a Felsa 1560

Looks like the same case as my Unidate. Should have the Felsa 690 which is the base automatic movement minus my 692's date feature. Mine just arrived from Austria yesterday and I sent it out for a service and crystal.

This big boy arrived Fedex from Germany this morning. :cheer: How would you like all 72mm's of this on your wrist?

You are ready for F1 (& American Le Mans & Nascar & Rolex Sports Car) season with that bad boy! :D
Enjoy & who's making the strap for you? :lol:

I don't know about that. Have you ever seen some of the watches Randy (judge) wears on American Idol? He had a completely turquoise watch on the other night. Strap and everything. :roll: Most of the time he wears watches as big as pie pans.
