Well the 1191 is a 50s piece with a Venus 188, but have never seen one with handset or dial like that before. Not the greatest photos but dial doesn't look right to me.

Roff, we did have one or two with these hands, later pieces with hands that seem to big/wide for the dial design.

basically correct, though the script B looks a bit strange, maybe somebody tried to touch it up a bit, but dial does not seem to be refinished.

edit: that search function here is great. this piece shows up in the post 63 Wakmann Breitling catalog, here's the thread: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=36820&p=269797&hilit=1191+hands#p269797

you are most welcome. definitely worth servicing, maybe try to clean the dial a little bit, clean the case. not much to to do actually, make sure you have a decent watchmaker work on it, you'll be able to pass it on to your kids.
