Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and wanted to get some thoughts on this Breitling I purchased recently. Other than the re-done dial does it look ok? I believe the movement is a Valjoux 22 but am not an expert so I'm not 100% sure. Your comments are welcome! Since I'm new, coffee is on me. Thanks, Glenn |

as said, total fabrication, no similarities whatsoever to a correct ref. 785, which would be a triple date chronograph with hour counter. |

didn't you buy it on ebay, from Spain or Portugal, seem to remember this piece ? if so, just open a "not as described" case through paypal, chances are high you'd get a refund. |

I purchased it on eBay on 12/30 from a local seller here in Los Angeles. Is the movement fake as well or did someone just put on a different case back? |

movement is a Venus 175, used by Breitling and many other manufacturers, the "signed" bridge is an incorrect shape for authentic Breitlings and clearly not original to the movement, logo engraving on the bridge is wrong. not a single component of this watch is authentic Breitling. |
