might be the worst refinished dial ever, wrong size, even got the Brevet no. wrong; sliderule ring missing.

high feedback seller fabsuisse calls it "A VERY NICE BREITLING CHRONOMAT. CASE IS BREITLING 18K ROSE GOLD, IN VERY GOOD CONDITION" :wowzers

How is a seller able to get such high feedback by selling fakes?

actually have seen this seller list quite a lot of nice watches b4; there are much worse examples of "high feedback" sellers that very frequently list Frankens and fakes; never trust feedback for vintage sellers, buyers often know next to nothing about vintage watches they buy & are sure they have got a great deal - wishful thinking rules.
