Build together , might be mostly original breitling parts except for the sliderule

Bezel does not belong to this type and the sliderule ring is aftermarket (not original)

Those pushers are humongous! This seller has a history of assembling pieces over the years. Nothing that can't be fixed.

Like Vintage says, nothing that can't be fixed....... If the price is right. I am taking a stab at it, might go low.
