I have seen a couple watches that are similar to this one, yet those watches are slightly different and appear to be fake. I'm hoping that somebody can tell me more about this watch and maybe weigh in on its authenticity. Thank you

That's not a Breitling.

Should recognise it from those hands, but I don't. Breitling has been added to dial and caseback.

I'll put the last nail on the coffin... that's definitely NOT a Breitling... even if it was it would've looked better with the plain "Breitling Geneve" than the cursive script... :roll:

Because they are a mishmash. The second hand is from an Enicar SherpaDive, minute hand used across a number of Zenith dive models, hour hand not sure.
