Interested in the opinion of other parties here. I believe this is a collection of parts labeled as "Breitling" but in actuality the only authentic part may be the caseback (which I'm not even sure of). http://www.ebay.com/itm/252609559898?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |

Disaster. It has a badly reprinted dial and poor sliderule, wrong crown, pushers look wrong, sweep is wrong or perhaps coated in paint, subdial hands wrong. Case and bezel I think maybe ok for 1964 - hard to see - those better on movements in sure will have comments to add. You are correct - looks all put together. |

I reported it to eBay but looks like too late to impact the auction. Hopefully the buyer knew what he or she was getting. |

Pretty creative using the smaller Venus 152 instead of the Venus 178. |
