Hi. I hope someone can help me identify this Breitling. It is stamped 1191 on the screw in case back. Plastic crystal, 7743 hand winding movement. I think it might be a Datora or a Top Time, but no markings as such. My watchmaker has inspected the dial carefully, and thinks that is is original (not refinished) I have had the watch for about ten years, having bought it on eBay from Spain. I live in California. It has been serviced and is validated genuine. Here's my concern: I have looked all over the web and ebay for years and I can't find a single other Breitling with this case and dial. It is 38mm, BTW. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

sorry, but this isn't a Breitling; no similarities to an authentic model.

This dial design was used by Herma - LeJour - Lov . Hands were used on some french assembled Heuer . Case looks like some used by Yema. All those components were assembled by subcontractors in the french Jura.
Nothing from Breitling in this one , just good for spares except dial which is good for bin.

Thanks for the input, guys. I appreciate it.

As for Mr Bergsma: Your emotionally charged comment made me laugh. Its just a watch.

not "odd" at al; that "museum" is built by copyying ebay listing pics - 80%+ of the examples are fake.
