Well if you post in the middle of the night for many members on a weekend then it may take more than 3 hours to get a reply!

The seller is reputable, but I have only dealt with them for modern pieces and I suspect that their vintage knowledge is rather limited. This piece doesn't look right to me and the absence of caseback shots showing model and serial numbers is also concerning. I have never seen a genuine Breitling with any AC branding on it and am not aware of any association between the brands.

Roff, the caseback is there!!!

It's just see through and one more reason to be concerned. I have NOT seen a vintage Breitling with see-through caseback yet.

Caseback is clearly not original then.
