It's a 1955 2907-31 and it looks almost correct. The only problem that I see is that the B on the dial should be gold. I'm working from memory and not sure if it should be painted or applied - I suspect applied and that it has simply fallen off. |

I think the dials been repainted and probably why the 'B' looks a bit strange. The lettering is consistent with a repaint. |

I think this one is from China... I would be kinda wary of this one...  (Can't believe I've memorized all the auctions for the vintage Breitlings on ebay)

Plus, when was the last time you saw a reference number on the inside of the case back? |

Hi guys. Thank you for all the information. I already bought the watch. After delivery I will contact a Breitling dealer to check the watch. I will keep you informed. And in worst case I can get my money back if it is a fake. I paid with Paypal. |
