I was looking on ebay at the Breitlings in the 1940 to 1969 category and clearly 1/3 of them were fakes. Turkey is coming on strong (with some real CRAP)!
So this came up and it was a LOL all the way. Look at the dial and then the discription...

Is your watch's dial in bad condition? We offer the solution. With us, you will have a new dial made in bronze with its respective subdials in guilloge and the exact measurements between the axis and feets in the right place. Exactly as the most famous brands were made in Switzerland, manufactured from zero by qualified restorers, you will receive a replacement just as the original, or personalised as per your requirements, for only $70, amount that you will pay through PayPal if so you wish.

That's hardly a good advertisement for their business - those colours are hideous.

Mind you, I've always fancied a dial wth guilloge on it :lol:

They probably made pinatas before they got into the watch dial scam!
