Don't like it - dial very small for the case, model and reference numbers don't seem like they are Breitling style stamping, don't recognise 1252 either. |

lot of "creative" energy went into this one, imo. model reference: ref. 1252 is not listed in any of the known catalogs/flyers (1942/1944/1946) or is there any reference regarding a 1252 in the 1940s "Spare Materials" catalog (merci, Phil !). serial number 387xxx would date it to the late 1930s - not in line w/ the capitals logo we see, this started to appear in the very early 1950s just before the "Geneve" period. fake for me. |

I had to post this so you could see the BS: "COMPLETELY ORIGINAL BREITLING REF. 1252 CHRONOGRAPH MEN'S WATCH. SELDOM SEEN ON EBAY OR ANY WHERE ELSE... GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC." I like the "seldom seen" part, its the only part that is true! |

Ran into this forum trying to identify my own listing on ebay. This watch is selling on consignment and after some thought...I also believe that is is a fake indeed although I did not research this prior to posting it which is definitely my fault. There was no BS intented, just listed a bunch of watches and overlooked this one that came from a customer. we pride ourselves on excellent customer service and perfect ebay feedback and have an A+ BBB accreditation. I have removed this watch from ebay as we NEVER sell fakes or intent to sell fakes. |

I think this is a first on this forum! Not only did you find your watch but you then knew it was a fake and took it off ebay. Way to go and WELL DONE! Thanks for letting us know. |
