Please take a look on these pictures. I'm considering buying this piece. Serial on the back is barely visible but seller claims he can read it and it states 1335013
Looks quite good to me but you expert opinion is as usual most welcome and appreciated.

engravings on the bridge seem strange, also the dial lacks a bit of "crispness", but that might be the pics ?

Thanks for pointing on bridge engravings Fred . Strange indeed. I will ask seller for higher resolution pictures but will let it go probably

Bridge doesn't bother me too much - the elements that are unique to Breitling look fine so it doesn't appear to be (say) a modified Heuer bridge. The dial and hands do look very red, would like cleaner photo of that.

Colour looks better in that photo but I'm still not completely convinced. The tachy scale in particular looks slightly off to me.

Here you have the movement and the back both in and outside. You can see serial number there.

I've never seen that Red tachymetre dial. Looks pretty cool.
