Picked this lovely example up today, shipped from Italy. Anybody came across these Breil watches before??? Apparently Italian?? Great patina on dial at 1 and 2. Very happy with it!!

Nice example you have here, I've never seen one before: is it manual winding?
And yes, Breil was born in Milan, Italy, in 1939. They made in the past (till mid 80's) very collectable divers for the Italian Navy, Marina Militare, with ETA2824 inside. At the end of the 80's they start to put in as standard chinese calibers Miyota 8215.
Nowadays they are quite a mainstream but low quality brand.

37mm. Looks bigger on the wrist to be fair.

Manual wind. Which movement would you say this is?
