https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-Breitling-1940s-WW2-Era-Chronograph-VENUS-Cal-170-JUST-SERVICED/282770707291 I'm new to the world of vintage watches and I'm still developing my ability to spot a real watch out of the sea of fake/franken-monsters out there. This one caught my eye, and I actually was able to inspect it in person last night. The printing on the dial looks crisp to me, although I was surprised at how reflective and bright the copper-colored hour numerals were. Anyone think this would be a good first purchase? - Chris

Franken is actually better, dial could be from an original ref. 171. case is non-Breitling

The fact it says VXB on the balance cock might be a clue. (VXB = Chase, Hamilton, Louis)
