Hi everybody,

First post! I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is real or not.

Thanks!

Real Chinese watch.

Many of these coming out of China these days and commonly marked as reference 2915.

The dial looks like a redo. The movement pic in the initial picture has 'Breitling' crudely engraved but if you check the pics in the description there's a movement pic with the correct inscription. That's cause enough for worry.

One thing against it, or at least suspicious about it. It looks too new.

I know that might sound strange, because it could have been refurbished recently. But even refurbs have telltale signs that the watch is older than new. There are always exceptions, but just the look of this thing would suggest it’s never been used. Even if it were NOS, it would appear to have some patina I would think.

I agree. Its a real worry.
