Not that into vintage Breitlings but real or fake?

Very nice Navitimer, movement (Venus 178) has been overseen, new glass, newly cleaned case and dial.

Looks okay for me, but move the post to the vintage section for checking there

I don't believe that it's a 67 (or at least if it is then it's not all original), but looks fundamentally OK. Lack of movement shot is off putting.

:lingsrock: dial/sliderule wrong for a 67, but quite a nice piece

It didn't look like a fake one but as you all said it doesn't look like a 1967-model either. So that's what caused some mixed thoughts for me.
