Hi,

I've seen this vintage chrono on a local forum and what caught my eye is the very good condition of the watch. The dial seems repainted but the case has all the gold plating intact. The Engraving on the case back seems made by a amateur and also the breitling name of the Y bridge has the letter I a bit curious.
It's a genuine Breitling or a franken/fake?

Thanks!

it started its life as a genuine ref 1192

then someone thought 'Oh ! lets make it more genuine by engraving Breitling on the back and the bridge and then proceed to reprint the dial !!'

and now you have this .....
