Some possible new candidates for the questionable vintage list - see if you agree :)

Don't Cry for me, Argentina:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/350563902270?ss ... 1423.l2649
(Caseback unconvincing, bridge looks too modern)

From Poland:

(Dial does not look like something from the 30s)

Miss America:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320899828136?ss ... 1423.l2649
(Major redial - maybe applied with a paintbrush)

1st one is just a non name piece with Breitling scrwaled all over it (badly)

2nd is better, but a new redial and movement could be from anything

3rd, well, just look at the logo on the dial.

No. 2 from Poland MIGHT actually be an authentic 30s piece that somebody ruined with that redial ?

other two are ridiculous junk, but both sellers are quite well known for faking vintage watches.
