Moved this last night but was too tired to comment after being kept out late by two other BS members, but in addition to Fred's comments, I'm pretty sure that the bridge is wrong in this case because the finishing is different than the rest of the movement. The cynic in me also thinks that the damage on the balance cock could be hiding a non Breitling import code making it a later movement.

Its got the 30 minute sub register and the 45 minute gears - a common stupid mistake by fakers.
