It looks like the stereotypical poor attempt at a fake - weird bezel that doesn't look right, subdial printing too bold, crown too large. I guess that's where the inspiration came from.

It may be reverse psychology...if the real looks like the fake, then the fakers wont fake the real since technically the real is already appealing to the market of the fakers, causing the fakers to buy the real and have no use for the fake.

What's with the three markers between the 5, 10 & 15?
Shouldn't there be 4?
They are minute markers are they not?

Technically there are four, they just made it damn hard to tell.

Agreed, the first thing that came into my head when I looked at it was "fake".

Yep, not only are the 4 / 6 and 44 / 46 markers almost touching the numerals the interchanging short / long markers add to the confusion.

:yeahthat It's the lines between the rectangles that are the markers, not the rectangles themselves. Of course, that's counterintuitive, and only makes the bezel more difficult to read. Score another one for Breitling.

Am I the only one who thinks this Colt may go down as the Cimarron of Breitlings?
