The South American cottage industry is quite active in the USA:

a "Superb 1963 BREITLING Chronograph"
the "Venus 178" is a Landeron, marked HXW = Helbros

another nice one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/220573208173?ru=htt ... 3D1&_rdc=1

serial no. dates it to 1945
movement from the early 70s

and the dial: "exotic", as the seller says.
