Hey guys. I'd appreciate the feedback on whether or not this is a real Breitling. I'm a real novice here and don't want to make a mistake. Thanks in advance. Take care

Breitling added to the caseback, but otherwise the caseback looks OK. Would want to see the movement and am not convinced by the dial.

Here's the movement and the dial. Thanks for the feedback so far! I really don't want to get ripped off so I appreciate it

rare, but it happens, have to disagree w/ Roff.
typical SA fake, from Buenos Aires or Montevideo.

no ref. no., serial would put it in the late 30s, very early 40s, introduction of the v188 was 1947/48.

Not so rare, agree with Fred now that I have seen the movement.
