Paul showed you photos of the exact model in your other thread yesterday.

Would like to see the caseback, but this looks OK from what I see.

Please don't double post.

You have already asked about this watch and been told that it's fine.

Duplicate threads merged.

Old post so forgive to bring this up again but the dial seems to be redone

Left a watch confirmed to be OK by Craig . Right the OP watch

-: no 'swiss made' on the dial
-: A-typical subdial markings
-: Breitling script strange,
-: No "DATORA" on the dial
-: Calendar numbers in black (typical in blue)
-: Datora's start with day '1' over the '12' , this one with '31'

overall the quality 'look and feel' just isn't there

and I assume you are posting that Datora 785 because you think there's something strange and incorrect with that watch as well ?
I agree with your assessment

the premier in that series I find questionable as well

I agree Fred,

On that 785 Datora (what I find questionable)

-: Breitling script
-: no swiss made
-: day/date/month pusher protection on the case
-: all hands seem to be incorrect
-: Dial doesnt seem like any Breitling dial
-: No 'Datora' on the dial

this one looks genuine (from the same collection)
