Pretty rare piece. Seller describes as "serviced and running perfect in every way" yet it's obvious the minute recording jumper is broken. Of course too early to have a signed crown too. That dial also looks too new and clean along with the hands. Problem with these is that other brands used the same case and numbers so it could have started life as something else. Here's the Crawford I picked up a year ago.

I've never seen a pic of a genuine Breitling 175 but my Wrist Watch Price Guide Book 6 (1993) has this one.

unsure if that dial is original, though ..... that logo is awfully similar to some of the current redials we see

Thanks for posting that link. Completely forgot about that. Lots of dial variations so finding one with aged dial would be a great help as to what's correct although it appears that Breitling catalog pics are all black dials.
