QC meaning quality control im guessing?

The sub-dials don't appear to have a guilloché finish. I may well be wrong but I thought most Breitlings feature this as a mark of their quality. The general appearance of the dial appears rather 'flat'. Could the dial be a non-genuine replacement?

I don't think it's a replacement dial.

Thanks a lot everyone for help !

So as I can see, the dial is original, but with a printing error that somehow passed the QC ... Is this rare ? Can this increase the value of my watch ?

Again any input will be of great help. Thanks a lot !

Best,
Eddie

Certainly rare - I've never seen anything like it.

Will it add value, I very much doubt it. In practice potential buyers would notice the problems and pass on it or look to pay less - sorry.

Hi all ! Just wanted to show my 80520-1 and ask if you are familiar with this kind of dial. Is it redone, is it an error of the printing machine ? What do you think ? (please note the hour markers) Kind regards, Eddie

I'm going to move this into the Breitling Help Forum - you'll get more eyes on it there, and late 80s isn't really Vintage. I have not seen anything like that, and I really don't know what might have caused it - sorry.

To me it looks like QC issue.

This seems like a dial replacement to me but then again BNewbie would know so I take your word

Correct - dial is correct for a chrono callisto.

Sorry to say this but.... . . . . . . . . . BEZELS MUST BE ALIGNED! Nice watch otherwise.

Just turned it counterclockwise to wind up the piece and left it like that for the photo session Roffensian wrote: Certainly rare - I've never seen anything like it.
