The dial and case looks so good, but any comments on the movement? Price a little high?

My question will be; is the movement look original? cos the Breitling sign looks like it was just engraved there recently? so is the backcase engraving. Is it common that breitling engrave their sign rather than stamp it?
And I think one question on most people's mind is that, is the price justified?
Thanks.

looks stamped to me but it looks a little different from what I have seen on others
doesnt concern me overly as these AVI's came with a wide range of movement markings

inside caseback markings look genuine to me and inline with others I have seen, engraved rather than stamped inside caseback

Thanks.


Please try to find another one for sale, then look at the asking prices of those pieces and see if the asking price is justified
I think the dial , hands , case etc are in good to great condition

the LIP adds to rarity as well , but even without the LIP these are pretty rare and this one looks to be in great condition
