1st one of these I've seen. Think it's genuine?

Didn't seen the GP one and automatic non chronos are a real weakness for me, but I don't like this. Nothing to support that based on knowledge of the model, but the logo looks wrong on the caseback, the model number font is unusual and I'm not sure what language the date wheel is supposed to be (if it's French it should surely be Jeu for Jeudi rather than Jue).

Other aspects look correct though - the dial and hands and I certainly wouldn't rely on my judgement for these pieces.

It looks like the engraving on the rotor and the engraving on the back have been squeezed in. This would probably be an early to mid seventies product and we all know how Breitling was having troubles during this period so who's to say this wasn't a product of Breitling trying to insert some new life into their offerings? That's the problem with B's from this time period. Not a lot of documentation to determine what is and isn't a fabrication either from the factory or elsewhere.

As a frenchmen i concur, it looks bad. It is suppose to be Jeu and not Jue, never seen Jue for any other languages, German or whatever.
