Dear Breitling enthusiasts,

I recently found this beauty in eBay and could not figure out whether it is a bona fide Breitling.

The watch is really beautiful but quite different to anything I have seen from the brand.

Any hint is welcome.

Not a Breitling - redial and scrawled logos.

Thanks for your prompt answer, I could imagine that the dial and even the back cover could have been faked but the logo in the movement looks legit. Any chance that the movement is original an the other components fake?

Nope, sorry. Just as easy to fake the engraving on a bridge as it is on a caseback.

Thanks Roff, I reported this seller in eBay but will keep the item, i already invested in several repairs and a proper band, sending it back would just add to the loss
