Because of the replacement hands and unsigned movement, I would leave open the possibility that this is a put-together piece. In other words, there is evidence that this piece has been restored from its original condition (the hands).

true regarding the subdial hands, unsigned bridge would not bother me even on a 1946, but have not seen that bridge shape used in Breitlings after the very late 1930s, never in a ref. 769; watch clearly has a bit of a chequered history - but this is now up to the buyers on ebay to judge and weigh.
