I'm a total newbie but the seller doesn't smell just right.

If it's fake, please help educate me and say why.

Thanks.

No model number, serial number completely incompatible with documented Breitling serial number ranges, amateur Breitling logos engraved and a dial that looks brand new on a watch that is supposedly 70 years old.

Total fabrication.

Well I'm sure they have Breitlings in Uruguay too. ;)

South America is a well known source for fake vintage Breitlings. 99% of the vintage pieces from there are fake.

Thanks Roff. As I said, I'm a newbie and appreciate any lessons you all are willing to provide.

This particular eBay seller seems to always have a host of vintage watches in stock and for sale.
