This might be real. It's similar to an 80s model, would love to know the number on the back - looks like 802**

Yes, but the continuation looks almost hand-engraved (?)

Could the Breitling logo extend into the subdial?

Unlikely, it just bothers me that there is a similar Taberly model from the 80s.

seems to be a bit too elaborate for an 80s fake so my guess is authentic,
which means it probably is fake, as I tend to end up with egg in my
face with those early Quartz pieces ... :oops:

bnewbie & Paul, we need you !

Never seen this model but gut feel is fake.

B wings logo overlapping the 12 sub-dial would surely not have been allowed and the clasp looks cheap and nasty.

There were some strange pieces from this period so if I'm wrong, so be it!

Fake to me also, but won't report because there is 0.001% possibility that it's real.
