Awful redial ! but apart that , a sound early Chronomat , issued in 1943 according to SN 508xxx.
Defects are honestly described ( redial and non original Clebar bridge ) .
Case, back, V175 apart bridge, bezel apart fixing screws, hands , crown , pushers look genuine .
It just need to refind good dial + sliderule!

It was more than likely a Clebar to begin with. I've seen a few of them over the years. Another example of some of the strange things Breitling did during that era where they had identical pieces with others names on them.

That was my immediate assumption, but looking at it the bridge does appear to have been replaced. Of course that doesn't mean that the original was Breitling.
