I really like where the guy has ground on the inside of the case back to remove the former name before restamping.

Oh dear - was a nice watch at one point, now it's just a mess. Still I learned something - "STAINLESS STEEL CHRONOGRAPHS ARE NOT THAT EASY TO FIND. TYPICALLY, AS MOST OF THEM WERE MADE IN THE 1950's, USING SOLID GOLD OR GOLD-FILLED CASES."

Who knew!

I was going to post this one as the "Fake Breitling laugh of the week" but you beat me to it. There are sooooo many things wrong with this one, laugh or laugher is probably not quite right. I am thinking Pathetic is the right work for this one. Craig
