Hi all...

Has someone ever seen a good, fake Le Mans 24-hours around?

I asked this because Im negotiating with a Pre-Owned watch store, which has Le Mans white face dial.
Watch comes with box & paper, but no certificate.
The seller claimed that's how he got from a trade in. But he guaranteed that the watch is authentic.

Anyone?

Thanks!

The fake Le Mans is very bad by all accounts, although I haven't seen one.

Post a pic and we'll soon tell you.

The fake Le Mans IS very bad.

If the one you are looking to buy looks EXACTLY like this - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... ey_44.html - then it's almost guaranteed to be fine.

BUT, as Roff suggested, just post us up a few pics and we'll soon tell you.

The usual fake "Le Mans" is a fake GT.

There are NO fakes with 24 hour movements but as D8 says, post pics for review.

That's what I thought...
I haven't spotted one fake Le Mans with 24h dials so far...

I can't post the pic since its not in my possession yet...
