Curious or not the seller only put one photo!

Hard to tell from the one picture but my guess would be it's a redialed Chronographe Suisse from what I can see and the fact it's 18k. Additional pics of the movement and back of the watch will make it easier to identify properly.

I would need to see better and more photos to be sure, but at that price it's too expensive even if it's 100% original. I would never buy a vintage Breitling without movement shots. As Paul suggests, I suspect that it started life as a Chronographe Suisse.

Gentlemens, Thank you
for the quick response!
I'll try to contact the seller to see if it puts more photos.
I Take this opportunity to ask:
This is definitely a Breitling?

Case is correct for a 2100 - those lugs are pretty recognisable. Can't read a name on the dial, but will assume that it's OK given condition, but would still want to see the movement to be sure.

Vintage Breitlings from Spain are right up there with the crap comming out of S. America. Don't go there!
