I guess it's time to start faking Montbrillant's now too. RXY swiss code is for Gala, Liengme & Cie. Looks like someone altered a Breitling dial from a ref 787, 788, or maybe a 734 like the case says and really the movement is too late a model for a Montbrillant.

Very convincing story they weave, too bad it is for a bad watch. Wow, hope nobody falls for it.

Odd choice of name to put on the dial if you are trying to make as much money as possible - if you know enough to know what a Montbrillant is then you probably no enough to do due diligence.

Very true, amateur move to say the least.
