Sorry, but those watches are faked to look like vintage Breitling products. The dials have been re-painted and "Breitling" inscribed on the movement, etc. The likely source for these is China. It's an attempt to capitalize on the premium price the Breitling name brings. You'll find a lot of these on ebay and elsewhere. Hope you didn't spend a lot for these as they have very little value.

I think the watches are genuine. They've had refinished dials for sure, but in my opinion they are real. Now, even if the are real, these are not very expensive watches, they trade in the $200 to $300 range with nice original dials.

here are a couple of movements and backs from my records:
