Any pointers on this one - caseback looks too basic, and I'm not sure if the dial looks right, but over to the experts...

It's real, but the N suffix indicated black painted rider tabs on the all steel versions, not sure if the gold tabs should be painted or not. |

Possibly a replacement case back? Here's a link to a pristine TT model with ref 80520-1, not 80520 N. http://www.finetimepieces.com/breitling/callisto_chrono_80520-1_1723_finetimepieces.htm |

I just suspect that they were both painted because of the distinction between the N and the -1 suffix. That said, it was just paint and was known to wear off. |

Thanks guys - I'm getting a concensus that it's real, maybe 100%, maybe a replacement caseback, which you could live with I guess. Interesting to see how this one goes... Thanks Mike |

I e-mailed the seller and asked if the Caseback may have been replaced at some stage... Reply: "hi all i know the watch is original and everything is as should be, no paperwork or boxes with this watch as you would expect. - speedlynk" |

I don't think that the caseback has been replaced. 80520 N is consistent with both steel and gold rider tabs. |
