60s to 70s TopTime, probably with a Valjoux 7733 inside it. Are there any numbers on the caseback (ideally check inside and outside) and a movement shot would help.

There is a dial similar to that in the 1969 catalog on the Top Time page. I'm thinking, since it doesn't appear to have a ref number on the back, it's a franken watch. The Top Time name was dropped in the 1970's for just the Long Plaing no name pieces. The case is wrong too for the age of the dial. Methinks the Breitling dial is the only think authentic. Will be inetersting to see if there's a serial number inside the caseback or if the movement is marked.

It didn't work right when I got and the guy that fixed it did't think it was a Breitling movement. Thanks for you help.
