Hello!
I need help to identify this Breitling and to understand if it's all genuine.
Movement is a Venus 170.
Case plated in rose gold.
Thanks.

I believe it is a franken Ref 178 with no reference # on case back(May have been polished off). Serial # if genuine dates it to the early 40's. Dial looks like it may be a redial. I would stay away. Here is a correct Ref 178 from 1943.
