I was looking for a 2111 and find this interesting:

http://www.chrono24.it/breitling/chrono-matic-chronograph-vintage-automatik-stahl-2111-vp-5650--euro--id3038907.htm?dosearch=true&query=breitling+2111&resultview=list&searchexplain=true&tab=details&urlSubpath=%2Fsearch%2Findex.htm

i'm not an expert, but couldn't find any image similar of this watch on the net. Let me say that I don't have any catalogue.
Is it origuinal or is it a 2111 with 2112 dial?

Thank you in advance

The dial would just be a negotiation point since the 2111 dials are usually pretty common to find on ebay. Of greater concern to me would be the polished case.

Frankly I've noticed it. So, vintage, for my own personal culture, all 2111 are brushed?

Orange hands + red date .
2 different cases , 1st with sharp edges and 2nd with chamfered polished edges ( like on Fred's pics)
Dial variations : silver with dark blue subdials zone , black with silver white subdials zone + some rare AOPA versions
Subdials variations : flat circled subdials , flat uncircled , recessed uncircled

+ a rare variation with black PVD case and cream dial .

white hand & black date are correct, as Phil says.
and remember there is always a transitional period, also hands were often replaced during service.

This seems fine http://www.chrono24.it/breitling/chrono ... 0&tab=pics

Of course the calibre would be a sourprise.
