Hi again everyone, this 178 just came up on my local craigslist and I wonder what your opinions are? Unfortunately the dial picture is not very clear. To my inexperienced eyes the green numerals round the edge of the dial and the font of the breitling logo do not match with the other dials of 178's that I have seen on the internet, but I am happy to be wrong!

Thanks for replying so quickly, I'm a bit disappointed as its going for $800CAN which seems like a good price but if its not legit then I think I will pass. However on the plus side I was suspicious of the logo, so I guess my detective skills are improving. Funnily enough the thing that made me think that it might not be a redial is that it looks pretty scruffy, I thought that if you repainted the dial you might make the effort to clean it up a bit...
