Appears to be a good deal if authentic but looks like dial may be a redo. Book says Valjoux movement but seller says Venus. It could have either?

Well the cynic in me wonders why there is no movement shot, but from memory I believe that there were Venus and Valjoux variants of these, certainly wouldn't be uncommon for triple calendars and as we know the 805 seemed to have a lot of different variants.

I just finished looking at that one and I think its missing it's case back. The trickster has added "stainless steel back" to the "base metal" inner cover and in dummying up the back added "Geneve" as well. I don't think I need to see the movement or inside caseback.

you might well be right, Bill.
but now cynical Fred would add & ask: double caseback on a vintage Breitling ?

Not sure if its being resold by the previous buyer, but is listed for sale by a seller in India. Some pix are the same, but more pix are included:

Doesn't look very convincing, would be interesting to see what the others think!

Caseback is wrong, bridge engraving is wrong, no serial number, etc, etc.

That makes 3 different sellers inside of 1 month - 1 in Texas and 2 in India - all of whom decided to list the same watch (with pictures against the same carpet!)

That's very fishy, looks like a scam of some sort in the offing!
