It appears real but not sure which model it is.

I have been eyeing that one too. Dig the SS case. I think it was Fred a while back that told another member to be on guard for sales from Buenos Aires, IIRC. So I kind of gave up on it. Curious to know that the experts think.

Roff the wrong warch got pasted and as soon as I caught it I repasted the right one. People jumped on before I edited it.

Sorry for the mistake.

Same seller again as yesterday's.

Dial is redone, and not very well - look how thick Breitling is. Mix of script and stamped markings cause suspicion, and at least one of the caseback shots makes it look as though there is a double caseback.

Caseback markings aren't convincing me, serial number looks consistent, but Breitling stamp looks small and there is no model number. I wish that I could read the import code on the balance cock - it looks like it starts BO, but not convinced that the last character is a W, but the bridge marking looks good

tricky one. no ref. no, but a period correct serial, dial logo clearly half a century younger than the rest, but bridge engraving looks good, B logo inside caseback wrong.

Franken, some authentic parts.
Frankly I also distrust Florida sellers that seem illiterate.

reason for editing: talking about iiliterates and typos all over, quick typing on the iPad is a b*tch

Thanks again. I don't trust Florida sellers even though I have a house near Tampa.
