ref. no. not listed in Richter, but would like additional opinions, do not know enough about those to call it; dial/hands look quite good to me.

With the exception of the poorly scrawled Breitling on the caseback I think that this one is OK.

Hi Fred, Roff, were those oval shaped weekday/month windows an accepted design? I have always seen them square/rectangular. Also shouldn't the writings on the movement be running letters? Actually, should the movement have any markings at all for a 40's watch?

serial no. would make it a 51, San, logos are in line w/ that date, even the Geneve-lacking dial. Do not have enough data to definitely call this one, but saw these rounded date windows b4.
