And furthermore it is a double case back
I'm not considering it anymore.
Thx gentlemen for your help

Gentlemen, What is your opinion about this watch ? It is moved with a venus 170. Thx for your help |

Looks like a Breitling ref 178. The hands aren't probably original. Need to see a shot of the back cover since it should have a serial number and reference number on it. |

No serial number outside the caseback. A reference 177 is badly engraved ... but crown, dial and movement look ok. Just add a pic of the caseback. Does it sound possible to you it's original or is it a 18k fake ??? |

It's not genuine for this style watch without it. That 177 is a number I don't remember seeing before and the quality of the engraving is poor. I think that's enough to stay away from this one if you're considering it. |

on one hand I agree with you but on the other I feel something curious ... how could it be a fake ? I asked a pic of the inside of the caseback to the vendor |

Don't like this at all. That 177 is not from the Breitling factory, and is not a correct reference that I've ever come across, and I don't like the movement ring either. Date looks way too new to be original as well. |

Would it be possible for any of you learned fellows to cut and paste the movement photo and insert text boxes showing the non original parts you can see. I am very much a newbie but find the workings of movements really interesting. Oh and a belated hello to all you chaps from Phil, I forgot to introduce myself which was rude of me, your input and knowledge in helping with my watch is much appreciated |

I see what you mean with the engraving it is poor, still, it is a nice looker, would there have been a B on the crown or am I waffling on |

Had a 46-47 Premier which I regret letting go by the way  and it was unsigned... this looks perhaps from a similar era.

Would the crown of a non existent Breitling model have had a B? Hmmm, need to think about that one - kinda like if a crown fell in a fake wood sort of thing
