Is this Datora Real and is the vendor reputable?

looks consistent with references to other 244-26's I can find , only question I would have is 'why doesn't it have "swiss made" on the dial but 'Swiss' only ?'

Movement shot would further help determine authenticity but so far it looks promising

there is a movement shot when u mouse over the dial pic, Rene, looks ok to me, but never saw these "in the metal", so no personal experience, mybe Roff and Paul will know more ?

edit: farfo has some nice watches for sale (a perfect Unitime 2160, would kill for that bezel, but 6k :shock: ), but also no personal experience with him as a seller, Rick

I just now saw the movement , I tried to click the pic earlier and nothing happened
Engraving looks OK to me but I have not held one of these in the flesh either nor have I bought from that seller

Would like to see a clearer pick - the Breitling on the dial looks a bit off, but may just be the photo. Movement pic looks ok and seller has a good reputation.
