You take a generic case + a no brand dial printed for Heuer and some others by G. Monnin in the late 70's , you mix all that with a Valjoux 7765 and you do not forget to engrave a cursive Breitling on the caseback and print a script Breitling on the dial. The subdial hands are different : no problem, it gives a vintage touch !
And in the description you assess that the watch is original !
I don't know if this italian guy is learning the job of frankenfounder, but this sample of his production looks more ridicoulous than the worst south american creations !

Very Interesting!!! It is definitely a vintage franken collectors ONE OF A KIND, and will demand a high price in their market.
The sad fact is someone will wear it PROUDLY!
