A photo of the back case would be useful. The dial is not convincing to me, hands seem wrong for the model...

No other input? Anyone? I cannot find a match to the dial anywhere on the internet even searching non-Breitling chronographs.

Need the caseback. I think it may be real but can't tell without seeing the caseback.

PS - My guess is that there will be a 6 digit number somewhere in the 400,000 range and no reference number.

Oops I'm sorry I thought the image above was the inside but now I see it's the outside. So not real, Franken at best I believe.

Terrible fake. But as long as you like it, who cares!
