Yes, certainly fake. There is a big scam on Ebay originating from China and Argentina of rebranding local generic vintage watches as Breitlings.

all is off here, dozens of those are typically listed in the bay,
all with the same "vintage swiss 17 jewels" in the titles, some
sell for pennies, some go up to $300 or more, quite brisk business.
