Hi!

Only find a venus 188 sign in the movement. Thanks! :bow:

I've never seen a Chronomat dial that looks like that. Note how badly faded the dial is and then how black the numbers and 'Breitling' are. They don't appear to have faded much at all. Would really need to see both sides of the back cover to make a better determination.

Agree with Paul, I'm sceptical. Also look at the movement - the bridge looks to be in better condition than the rest of the movement - perhaps replacing one with the wrong name on it?
