Because the bridge does not appear to be sanded (shaved), it was most likely an unsigned bridge that had the incorrect script style engraving added later - compare the to pics. The back is the give away. No reference or correct serial number on the outside of the back and the number inside is way off from the Breitling numbering series. If Breitling had not used reference and serial numbers on the backs of their chronographs, it would be nearly impossible to spot a lot of fakes. But.... given that there are $1000s to be made on these, I think its only a matter of time before really good looking fake backs are reproduced somewhere on the planet. Hard to say what it was before?
