Does this look to good to be true. Condition looks to good for being produced in 1960. Even after a service i would expect to see a few digs unless they re-plated it. Says it has box and papers.

The dial looks good, and if I had to guess I would say the case was definitely refinished.but I don't know about the movement though, but that's because I just don't know much about vintage Breitling movements. Nice looking Navi though.

Very clean. Condition of the hands is interesting. I personally would not worry about the refinish on the case if, in fact, that is what it is. Looks that way though.

I guess it depends on where it ends up in the bidding, but I could be tempted. Nice example.

Dates to 1960 and looks correct to me with the possible exception of the outer sliderule. If the case were refinished then it would have had to have been replated and if so then that's a very good job.
