at 8% of the last one listed from France, this has "Guayaquil, Ecuador" going against it, but the rest ?
actually looks like the 800 on p.40 Richter, but has 787 & 799 on the back, no. dates it to 46

"f.g.watches" in Ecuador was the seller in the eBay auction that had "ON BRIDGE" on the bridge of a fake Breitling in that auction in 2006 I noted a few weeks ago with regards to "Cadettes". They are a serial fraudster.

I can't really see all that much wrong with it but fakers do seem to put more time and effort into faking moonphase vintage watches. He does state the dial has been redone which probably accounts for the 3-min indicators on the 30 minute sub register to be in the wrong position. Hands may or may not be correct. The two ref numbers I've seen before but the 799 is als described as having the small date ring (12 oclock). I bought a vintage Breitling off this seller about 7 years ago and was never 100% quite certain it was original so if he is doing recreations he seems better at it than most (except for the 'on bridge' example ;-).

seller also has a Cadette that might be right ?

Would not buy from him, considering Bill´s "onbridge" experience, but if those are fake, that guy has learned a lot since 2006.

Not sure that he's learned that much - print style logo on the bridge, script on the dial. I guess it's easier to stamp the print logo onto a bridge when you're faking it than trying to engrave the script.
