Look at this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-Breitling ... dZViewItem

This guy is selling a fake Navitimer... obviously lots of red flags.. 0 feedback, "private" credit card processor.. etc. However, the watch in the pics looks really real! Giveaways include the caseback... it isn't stamped deeply like a real Breitling.. also arabics on the dial are slightly off, and the bracelet is the big giveaway.. a new navitimer bracelet should not have the end peice that connects to the clasp in one single peice, it should be many separate peices. Also the end links and links close to the head have no marking on them, which is consistant with fakes.

But even the fake asian valjoux is decorated with the Breitling logo and decorated! geez.

And you can't report this to ebay since ebay will say that the seller claims it is real so he is not violating the TOS. bah.

I have a fellow Breitling owner who often wears his "Paste" Breitling when he is out doing some serious drinking or otherwise spending time showing visitors the seemier side of town.

(A naked wrist would be much safer - but some people............. )

My thoughts exactly--- If they are going to cut off your arm for your watch what is the diff. if it is an Original or a Replica.

Just stay away from trouble...

Wow, some poor sod paid $1500 for that.
He'll probably never know.
