Not sure what's going on with the caseback engraving, but it looks OK to me. |

Yeah, seen a few of these fakes before. They find a nos Breitling dial, which are plentiful, and stick it in a generic case. The hands are wrong and the movement should have Breitling Watch Ltd on the bridge. The back, like Roff says, is way too crude to be right. |

Didn't even notice the hands - shouldn't look as I am going into a meeting

This dial came from Watchco in Australia unsigned as did the case (or Sandoz or ?, original signature removed) - I have some of them. The dials are also being sold as NOS Breitling dials by other sellers. When I get back from my vacation I will post some pics of the unsigned ones - they come in other colors too. |

Here's a fake, sort of   This is a Waltham. It's mine. I picked up this watch for $5 at a flea market! The dial was all scratched up. Bought this dial (which was probably one of those Sandoz dials that was turned into a Breitling) for another watch and it didn't fit so I put it on this one. I keep the Waltham dial in the container for this watch. I wear it occasionally and always tell folks the story behind it. If I ever sell it, I will put the Waltham dial back on it. The same goes for the other watch I posted today. I assumed the dial was not authentic when I bought it, but dials for these are hard to find, and it looks better than the one that was on it. Some purist won't like that, but I searched for years and couldn't find the right dial. Ron |
