Is it true that there are fake Breitling boxes out there? If so, how do you detect them? Thanks

Often (but not always) the Breitling logo and words are slightly smaller than on the genuine article.

They say that the watches are replicas, but they have some photos of genuine Lings.

Yes, please don't. It would have been appreciated if you went in there and edited your own post to remove the offending link. I have deleted it.
