Hi everyone, came across this 1940's 765 Breitling, however in my lack of experience i'm unable to verify its authenticity.
i'm hoping that your expert eyes can help.
best regards,
exo

Complete fabrication I'm afraid and not a very good one - they didn't even bother trying to mask the non Breitling movement.

Small world indeed - my office is at Yonge and Bloor, my home is on Georgian Bay 40km north of Barrie.

I think it would've been worth more as a WWII relic... that Nazi symbol is interesting...

Yeah, not sure about that, and I couldn't find the export code in my list either. This used to be a rare (if not valuable) watch, now it's just another fake Breitling - a real shame.
