I've never ran across this site before and the number of fakes pictured is truly amazing.

Paul, a young collector friend had suggested that I look through that "Museum" some weeks ago. :wink:

what unbelievable junk, that guy just grabs any pathetic POS that calls itself "vintage Breitling" off ebay and puts it in his "Museum", does not even get current pieces right. surprised he has not included some of the "Vietnam War Military Breitling". :wowzers

That site belongs to our German vintage "expert" (M.M.).

Became aware of it last week. Not sure that it is directly owned by our friend, but name would suggest some connection. Claims to be owned by Idan Katz and that mathces the domain registration records - out of Israel.

It is truly shocking how bad it is and even some of the well documented modern pieces are misidentified.

Don't know is he really owns it, but he was very associated with it.
In the past web address had .de extension... http://www.spam.com/

Not the same one bnewbie - that's the Lounge / Museum Shop Online thing. This site's new, only registered in December.

I believe that all of that Lounge/Museum was part of his cons and came from here... http://www.spam.com/

It was the same.
In the past, he linked that site to his ebay auctions many times...

Looks like ClubBreitlingIsrael is now repointing to this new site as well. My Hebrew's not up to the details but looks like most links on hte site are gone now.
