Hi everyone! I purchased a Breitling from eBay, and the only other ones I have found came from Argentina. Then I googled Breitling Argentina and found this forum. The seller said that he has to "wind the watch constantly." When I asked about that, he said "You know I'm selling it for my brother. But I think he mentioned he has to wind it slightly more than usual. But maybe we aren't used to older watches."

Here is the listing:

Can anyone verify if this watch is a legit Breitling piece?

Is it really!? I haven't paid so I can just tell him I don't want it. But I'd like to be sure before I back out.

Ok. I had a gut feeling something was wrong. This watch isn't from Argentina, but I'm assuming it came from there.
