Interested in the opinion of other parties here. I believe this is a collection of parts labeled as "Breitling" but in actuality the only authentic part may be the caseback (which I'm not even sure of).

Disaster. It has a badly reprinted dial and poor sliderule, wrong crown, pushers look wrong, sweep is wrong or perhaps coated in paint, subdial hands wrong. Case and bezel I think maybe ok for 1964 - hard to see - those better on movements in sure will have comments to add. You are correct - looks all put together.

Thanks Buddman, that's what I thought. I reported it to eBay but looks like too late to impact the auction. Hopefully the buyer knew what he or she was getting.

Pretty creative using the smaller Venus 152 instead of the Venus 178.

Ah, I knew something looked off about the size of the movement. I just put together a Navi recently and didn't think the movement was so small compared to the size of the case.
