Help Verifying Breitling

Would anyone be willing to take a look at this auction and give me their opinion on the authenticity of this Breitling on eBay? Looks legit to my untrained eye. Seller has responded promptly to two emails of my questions. Are there any specific questions I should be asking? Any help is much appreciated!

No feedback as a seller, and none of the pics are very good.

I agree the pictures aren't very good. Shall I assume using low quality pictures is a way to mask authenticity? I'm not much of a photographer myself and have never attempted to photograph a watch, but, I just used my iPhone to take a picture of what's on my wrist right now and it turned out better than the listing pictures. Shall I pass?

I like the fact that the dial says " automatic " and the description say Quartz.

Forget about about the Breitling.

The Rolex skeleton the seller is offering is right bargain:

OMG that is so super rare and only manufactured in extremely low numbers.

in my expert opinion that is number zero of zero produced.
