its doent have a ref on the caseback where I would expect one and a gold mark 119 case builder Gindraux SA that I do not associate with Breitling
I think its fake

Also the bridge is marked 'Leonsain'

seems we have a genuine example here where watches were marked for US import after they were manufactured

It looked kinda odd to me. I am glad you all agree.
