Paul showed you photos of the exact model in your other thread yesterday.

Would like to see the caseback, but this looks OK from what I see.

Please don't double post.

You have already asked about this watch and been told that it's fine.

Duplicate threads merged.

Sorry, I tried post it on "Vintage Breitling Fake / Franken Identification" for further information, but I made a mistake.

sorry again

Old post so forgive to bring this up again but the dial seems to be redone

Left a watch confirmed to be OK by Craig . Right the OP watch

-: no 'swiss made' on the dial
-: A-typical subdial markings
-: Breitling script strange,
-: No "DATORA" on the dial
-: Calendar numbers in black (typical in blue)
-: Datora's start with day '1' over the '12' , this one with '31'

overall the quality 'look and feel' just isn't there

and I assume you are posting that Datora 785 because you think there's something strange and incorrect with that watch as well ?
I agree with your assessment

the premier in that series I find questionable as well

iirc this watch was part of a Breitling exhibition ?
it is still wrong imho.

I agree Fred,

On that 785 Datora (what I find questionable)

-: Breitling script
-: no swiss made
-: day/date/month pusher protection on the case
-: all hands seem to be incorrect
-: Dial doesnt seem like any Breitling dial
-: No 'Datora' on the dial

this one looks genuine (from the same collection)
