none of the regulars are really into threehands, only the TO and maybe the Ultrathins, but somebody might have a surprise for us ?

This one has a serial number from '58. It's also a ref 1352 instead of the "usual" 1355.

dial printing is also much sharper than on the others, may well be one of those surprising correct pieces from South America, hour hands is correct for Breitlings of the period, but doubts about the minute hand.

What about the crown? Shouldn't it be signed?
Movement seems to be running well according to the pics. Hairspring seems ok (despite of the hair ;)). I do believe that the 3rd wheel jewel on the train wheel bridge is damaged. Or is it the 3d wheel you see through?

18K solid metal, subsecond hand doesn't match, movement is a Venus 188 but it's not signed, no valid ref number. I believe it to be an original dial though. How did I do?

dustcover , not solid 18K as lugs are dented , probably started its life as a 'chronograph suisse'

dial might be original but who knows
