1. the Breitling script on the dial is not original, its repainted

2. the "BREITLING" on the back is not original

3. the serialnumber on the back is too regularly in line.

4. the most important: Breitling has never installed this type of bridge, but always using the Venus caliber, with its two peaks, such as bird beaks.

and 5. the genuine Datoras with the Venus calibre 191 are usual signed 785 D

You are new so wouldn't realise, but.....

Please do not feed the trolls - there is a reason Mr. kailex's threads are ignored.

Oh really :-) could you please explain why his threads are to be ignored ?

Would he, by any chance, be a certain crook named Herbert or Michael Marz, selling MANY fake Breitlings on Ebay (premiumwatch I believe) and also some authentic ones absurdly overpriced ?
