Pushers have never been gold on modern Breitlings. A watch this old will be lated, more recently they have been rolled gold (a 20 micron sheet laminated to a steel core).

I believe that it was a simple design change during the model's production period.

Well, went to see the watch. The Breitling itself original, the bezel a little loose, but was not sure about the strap: light, no numbers, and the clasp definetily fake, as made of thin metal without logo on it. Other strange thing - the antireflective glass: gets dirty very quick. One touch - and you have to clean it as fingerprints are visible. Still thinking is it woth to buy it without a strap for 1100 dollars.
