According to the serial number this chrono should be a 1952. Should it still have square pushers? Shouldn't the case back be round? Also the hands look unlike any other I have seen on a Breitling. Case is 38mm, movement is Venus 175. What do you think? |

a lot is weird about this one, but square pushers have been around until the mid/late 1960s. |

Hands, caseback engraving, bridge engraving for this piece, etc |

So it is most likely a franken? |
