The serial no. is 796358 from 1956, but with the old "Breitling" on the dial.

After end of 1951 Breitling didnt used this old signatur, the new was "B" BREITLING GENEVE

How about this one? I'm assuming this one is fake as well, then.
What do y'all think? Just curious...

Doesn't look too good to me... :(

Looks like a redial... and also as far as I know, Breitling never mixed the two kind of "fonts" together on their watches... on the vintage stuff anyway... Notice the cursive Breitling on the dial and on the movement but on the caseback the "Breitling" in regular writing...

the movement is one I've never seen before... I'll just leave it at that...

Don't mind me Horgerg... I'm just trying to practice my observation skills... I could be totally wrong for all I know... :)

Not good photos, but I don't recognise the movement (and don't have my movement guides with me at the moment), but pretty sure that there is very little original there. The dial looks wrong, the hands are wrong and I can't see anything on the caseback. Without a similar piece with provenance I am going to call this one fake.
