I have seen a back like that before but the serial number is way too early. The 'Breitling' on the dial looks like it was added later. Here are the pics:

Case is interesting, not automatically wrong based on that, but the serial number is inconsistent (and presumably is inside the case) - are we sure that it's a 5 at the start? Logo on the dial is definitely too thick. |

I am quite happy with it actually, serial is very, very close to my 734, 51xxxx, dial, hands and movement are almost identical. logo looks surprisingly crisp, agreed.

It looks like re-painted dial and it looks like a snap caseback, not screwing. Color me dubious. |

thanks, Paul, will contact the seller to see if I can find out the serial no., quite convinced the OP 765 is legit and that the earliest cases were built like this, though my 1946 765 already has the screw type caseback. |
