I think it’s not “too good to be true”, it’s just “not true”

.....im not going to go for the capitalised logo, or a clean caseback, or pushers that shape.

.... If you thought the case was legit, the serial number is 1945 and Breitling Watch Corp not established until 1947.

.... If you though maybe the case was made in 45 but not made into a watch until 47/48, you’d expect a US import code on the movement with Corp on the bridge....

..... If it’s post WW2, where is the reference number?

...... Colour of the steel on the caseback is different than the mid case... not very NOS :D

Thnx Dave. I noticed the same points as also indeed the serial number does not match with the rest of what he says.

So definitely not a real deal
