dial looks legit, bridge engraving probably added later - need to see caseback to verify.

Yeah dial and hands are OK, and movement looks alright although not the greatest photo. Definitely need to see caseback to be able to say for sure as Fred says, but looks to have at least some Breitling elements.

neither can I, but looks like pre44 serial w/ correct stamping for the 178s ?
a bit unsure about the hour hand, but overall ok, I think.
