Ok. I found this on the bay. Normally I would dismiss it as a frankenwatch and move on. However the write up on the auction was interesting, although I felt the seller was just jerking my chain.
I checked my references and I couldn't find ANYTHING like it especially with the 12:00 crown and furthermore without the word "Breitling" on the dial.
I wondered however if you were going to try and pass a watch off as genuine, possibly going throught the trouble of falsifying the inscription on the bridge, wouldn't you put the brand name on the dial?

So i'll ask the expets, should I consider my chain having been jerked?

Seller states it's a pocket watch made into wristwatch.
