model is ref. 1191, would assume late 1940s, before 1953. Movement should be a Venus 188, a serial no. inside the caseback will allow exact dating

That's 1953, later than I would have expected for that dial but just about OK I guess.

I'm (obviously) not Fred, but because it doesn't have Geneve on the dial.

Roff, thank you. I've asked, because I have a 1191 also from 1953 with a golden, embossed "B" and Breitling (no Geneve) . The dial is a little bit different from this one.
