Hi I'm new to the forum so go easy. Looking for information on an old breitling 1940-50s looking at condition and style. Only problem is apart from breitling on the face there is no other markings. No marks on inside of case or on the bridge. There is a serial number on the case which from a quick Google should tie to around 1946. But the model number on the case is 488 but I can't find this model anywhere. Expert advice needed. Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
To my knowledge, it looks totally fake.
But wait for expert’s ideas. Maybe there is a beacon of hope that this one is real

I’m definitely not an “expert” but it is 100% fake. Sorry for bad news.
