I'm looking to buy a vintage Breitling as a present and I have no idea about spotting a fake or not. I've found this one on eBay, and I'd be extremely grateful of any help and advice.

Thanks in advance :-)

most probably fake, but I'd like to see in focus pics of caseback and movement.

Thanks for the quick response! I've requested some more pics so hopefully they'll get back to me!

Is there a reputable website that sells used and/or vintage Breitlings that you could steer me towards?

Thanks again

If I were you, I'd take the time to peruse the classified ads here. At least that way, you can look into the seller, their references, and their photos in detail.
