Probably another example of adding too much information as I bet the dial was plain (no Breitling) originally. Hard for the uneducated to sell an old watch as a Breitling unless it says Breitling on it somewhere. |

As we know I do not claim to be knowledgeable but I like the script on that watch. |

before the use of ref #s....again, I know nothing, but I think this watch is kosher. |

I think once you had it in your hands and looked at that dial through a loupe you would see it's been redone. Of course by that time you'd own it and it would be too late. |
