Have a look at this offering from what seems to be a reputable epray dealer.
Lots of things seem right but lots of things jar violently with what I have in my minds eye. What do you think??
A breitling postala??:roll:

In this matter I think we should rely on Rene :-)
As for my thought: it could be genuine. Even so I wouldn't buy it

OK, I am gonna hide now ! .. way to much credit .. i am not Benno richter :-)
and certainly am not a vintage expert
but here's my 2 cents : I dont think its genuine, the Breitling script on the dial is very badly done which leads me to believe that this is not a genuine Breitling watch . I am sure someone does have the richter book and can look it up ?

I just did a QUICK check of Richter. I could not find an example of one with the hours on the Bezel. It didn't look like any models had the hours on the bezel.
It's enough to make you go "Postal"!!LOL

By far not an expert, not having some books to check either.
But the fact that the seller is posting a strange pic with the mechanism of the watch - the picture looks cropped, it's from another movie - makes me think it's a fake.
The only thing the "watch-makers" cannot do - thank God - it's the mechanism.
