Case may be original, movement may be original but with Breitling added later, dial was made yesterday.

Does it look 65 years old to you?

No aging, bright colours, clean, bright white.

See you point. Looks dirty at top and bottom of dial though. Could it not have been restored or cleaned ?

No.

It's completely inconsistent with te rest of the watch - why would you remove the hands, clean a dial (which wouldn't make it look liek that) and then put the hands back without restoring them? It's a redial.

clearly a redial.
and even for an authentic piece in impeccable, untouched condition it would be overpriced.
