My guess is a fake, I have not paid for the watch.

Thanks for the help,

not a game, actually.
franken. never, ever buy vintage watches from South America. 99.9% are fake, the rest overpriced.

not commenting in your WTB thread. but getting another dial for this watch makes very little sense.

Thanks... I figured.

Quite a bit to take on as a beginner.

The GXI on the balance is for a Gotham watch. You can see inside the back cover where someone attempted to polish out the 'Gotham'. The real serial number is inside the back cover so the one on the outside has been added. The dial has been altered and the 'Breitling' is a later addition. 'Breitling' on the movement bridge has been added too.

Can't hold a candle to the experts, but to add my observations:
1. font letters for Breitling on the dial, caseback and movement bridge look different from each other
2. listing says movement is a venus175, but this should mean that the subdials should be on the 3 and 9 o'clock positions (like the chronomat 769). 12 and 6 o'clock subdial position should be using a venus170 movement
