    Breitling Triple-Date Moonphase with an Omega time-only movement? I think not.

    Try again.

    Well, I think the dial has been refinished. The Breitling script looks off and some of the numerals look 'hesitant' if you get my meaning. and the day and month are WAY darker than the main dial...

    Your mileage may vary, but not for me.

    I mean it may be the seller's photos but I don't like that dial. Look at the seconds track. Those sub-second indices are really all over the place. The second "5" in 55 looks stuck together.

    This is from a 1950 Chrono I own and believe to be an authentic dial

    Would I show it? Sure.

    This is the picture I cropped that image from:
    Orig Model 1188_071616 3175.jpg

    The gold leaf numerals reflect light differently in this shot. They are not dark like the "8" in this shot.

    I haven't considered selling it.

    I have a watch selling problem. I buy them, no problem.
