I saw a few times this combination on a watch. Who knows anything about relationship between Breitling and Cuervo y sobrinos ?

The watch in the link you posted is from S. America. I would doubt it's genuine.

Of course you've seen a few, it's because Cuervo watches are readily available to the South Americans that make these frankenwatches.

Do we really need to have a discussion about whether an Argentinian sourced, dual branded Breitling may be the result of a completely undocumented partnership between two companies that are about as unlikely to have collaborated as any?

Cuervo y sobrinos (Havana) used watches by many different manufacturers. This one is as fake as they come because a genuine Breitling from this time period would still have a Breitling serial number whether a true Cuervo y sobrinos piece or not. The 'Breitling' script on the dial looks too fresh in relationship to the rest of the dial anyway.
