Well, we are getting into some very iffy territory here. Documentation on pieces this early is virtually non existent. The seller is associated with Breitling Museum and so the price is ludicrous in the grand tradition of that guy.

I can find comparables (though not great pictures) that clearly show that the chrono seconds and minute hands are inconsistent.

I'm not sure why there is a 17 ligne parts diagram, because I believe that this is a 14 ligne movement - that would be consistent with models like the 721 (which is similar to this). I don't recognise the movement, but it has some characteristics of a Landeron which makes me nervous - I certainly don't like the bridge as genuine Breitling.

The case and crown are consistent, although the condition is a little too new for my liking - a little too heavy on the restoration.

Thanks, Roff.
Also think that bridge was "after signed".
Don't get the totally off dial logo.
Agree with iffiness of territory so won't post it openly again.

The logo may be OK - I don't have anything that shows a very clear comparison, and don't own anything this old, but it might be OK.
