Hi 1st Breitling and 1st post here.
Didn't know there was such a section - very helpful - please look.

Just acquired via WUS from "author"
No reason to believe its fake as he has good references and guaranteed w/refund if not.
Still, there's nothing worse than creeping doubt.

It's real, but it's not a vintage piece so I moved it to the right place.

Very nice looking, what is the functionality of the dial that has up to 100 on it?

Every feature. There isn't a decent fake of a Montbrillant Legende, it's dial etc is too complex and the differences would be obvious to us. There are some Breitling models that have very good fakes - sometimes the only way to tell is the date font. But yours is 100% absolutely positively Genuine.

No doubt about it. (I seem to be repeating myself).

This one IS correct, but Tom, sadly you are wrong when you think there are no decent Legende fakes, here is an example of a frighteningly good one:

I think that you mean 1/100th of an hour - decimal time.
