...that I think the Sage is behind this new ebay profile , or not so far .

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Breitling-Naviti ... 232f1219f6

At first sight it looks nice, but ... the bezel looks a bit "thin" with teeth like eroded? and the horns do not have the normal shape?

Cal 11 would seem a little early for this watch.

Yep, 'pure' calibre 11 never made it past 1969.

he even mentions it in the item description: "Cal. 11 was only manufactured for approx. half a year after the movement launch" and describes this is a Cal. 12.

The different bezel maybe a special thing at the 18K-ones (but the one from eBay/März? differs also from this one), see here:
https://www.chrono24.de/breitling/aopa-navitimer--id2514678.htm?goal_searchtask_mail=1&picnum=1&tab=pics

Cal. 11 and 11-2 were also used in some (late) 1974-1978 Chrono-matics, nothing stange.

yes, in pieces assembled from those batches of NOS cases floating around. Suprisingly they almost never turn up in 71s or 72s ......
