It's a fake. The date window is too wide. |

And the short tics at 3,6,and 9. That would have been some expensive junk! |

The cardinal ticks (ie. 1,14,16,29,31,44,46,59) should be long on this model. The sec marks at the 46, 59, 1 are correct but all the others are wrong. In addition, the rider tabs are misshaped. |

What are rider tabs? I'm totally new to Breitling watches. |

Also 9/3 of chrono hour totalizer are crowded by their surrounding markers Marker and number lines too thick on subdials in general. Not an expert by any means, but just went through this for my BB. |
