the China 3-hands fakers are now offering a Bidynator "Breitling" for only US$ 1,500
this is a seller that apparently mass produces junk and sells quite a lot on ebay.

tells (please add):
wrong non-script logo for claimed 1945 production date according to serial no.
combination of (clumsy) script logo on back with non-script dial
unbelievably bad "refinished" dial
ref. no. 289 25 not documented
crown wrong

That movement could be legit though... but that's about it huh? or is it just me and does "Breitling" look like it's been added on the rotor? Actually, a question, was Bidynator only exclusive to Breitling? I know the Felsa movements were not...

Bidynator was a Felsa name, perfectly legit 690 with Breitling added later.
