Wrong for me.

Breitling wasn't in Geneva in 51, and the absence of a reference number concerns me too. Don't have many references here in the office but the lack of any shock protection on the movement seems odd on a moonphase datora this late.

Geneve is the least of my problems with it, the missing ref., no inca, strange hands and my overall uncomfortable feeling with it shout: Fake !

Something about it overall doesn't look too authentic... although the "Breitling Watch Ltd." inscription inside the caseback looks for a later year.
