Is this genuine?, it looks like a real vintage Chrono-matic but the tachymeter scale is a nonsense on a non-chronograph.

Believe it or not, it's perfectly correct.

One of the weird Breitlings from the 70s.

One of the things I look for on fakes is errors and inconsistencies such as a useless tachymeter on a non-chrono. So sometimes even Breitling make the same mistakes as fakers.

I remember this one... If I'm correct it's got this really huge bridge on the movement? It's very nice...

I really like this watch. There's a certain understated elegance to it.
