Hi, I am a first time Breitling buyer, and just wanted to check the experts on this forum to make sure that the item I am buying seems ok ? I enclose some screenshots of the watch below. My first concern was that the dial may have been repainted, but I would be really appreciative if anyone can see any other flaws/discrepancies in case it is not a genuine item. Many thanks for the feedback.

Should be posted in the vintage forum. You'll get more answers. From a preliminary inspection, hour hand is wrong (too short), and dial looks heavily redone. There's no lume left! Movement also looks dirty so might need to put in consideration a cleaning and repair.

The dealbreaker for me is the dial. That cursive B is totally wrong. I think you can do better. Welcome to Breitlingsource.

a lot more, in this case. this - sorry - POS never came close to a Breitling workshop,
NOTHING is correct on this one, is it from Argentina ?

dial wrong, logo wrong, Geneve wrong, serial number wrong, logo on caseback wrong, missing ref. number,, just to name a few of the problems.

Ahh - many thanks for both the replies. I wasn't aware that there was a vintage forum but will check it out. The watch is from Singapore, but I had some suspicions about it. I really appreciate the feedback. Many thanks.
