i had this watch on my "watchlist". being a vintage noob and wanting to learn, what makes this a grossly overpriced item? it falls within the 2-2.6k i see the 806s go for. if pressed i would say maybe the larger hands look off and the movement looks a little dirty? i'm guessing there are some much bigger problems...
It appears to be a conglomeration of parts asembled together to deceive an unwitting buyer. This is why everyone needs to do research before putting out hard earned cash. The dial with the black sub registers is wrong. An Iraqi version watch has the Iraqi Air Force wings not the Breitling wings. The back is probably from an Iraqi 806 but I can't see enough detail to say but no Iraqi models have the Valjoux 7736 movement as far as I've seen. 7736 movements are a dime a dozen so would be a logical movement to use as a fake. The 806-36 Navitimer did use this movement for a short period but it's marked that way on the back cover. Here are the proper pics of the Iraqi 806 courtesy of
