It's probably one of the more decent fakes I've seen... passable to the untrained buyer... too bad... :(

I'll take the bait and be the one to ask. So please elaborate on the "Tells" that gave it away as a fake on this one.

You don't need to know anything about Breitlings to know that this is wrong if you stop and think about it. The seller is claiming that it's from WWII, that makes it at least 65 years old and let the dial looks like it was made yesterday - is that likely? Even if you think that perhaps that's possible if the watch was stored, then how can the dial be perfect and yet the hands look aged?

No signature on the chrono bridge and even if it was, a Landeron cal 39 is not a likely movement for a Breitling. Biggest "tell" is the numbers on the back have no relation to Breitling. And last but not least, its from the Ukraine - right up there with the fakers for S. America and other similar "greasy" countries.
