Horrible finishing, but at least it's an easy fake to spot.

I love the description "dial looks good" :shock:

There's a lot of those bad refinished dials from China on Ebay. I'd rather have a lot of patina than this....

Cheers

I'm not so sure it's refinished. To me it looks like a brand new poorly painted total fake. :D

It will likely be an original dial that has been restamped with a very cheap template (look at the B) and then sloppily lumed.

So guys if the dial is possibly original (except for the crappy restoration) what's the opinion on the rest of the watch?

I didn't mean that it was an original Breitling dial, it's a cheap no name watch (in bad condition) that has had it's dial restamped with a template that is supposed to be a Breitling.
