not this is truly surprising, posted on WUS. a Valjoux R72 Cosmonaute 809 (wouldn't that be a great find?) case has some resemblance to the "big case", none of the markings are correct, hands are wrong. the amount of work that went into this creation is astonishing.

Fred, two questions: 1. Is there anything actually really Breitling about this? Or is completely manufactured/fake? 2. Is this a one-off do you think or are we going to see a flood of manufactured fakes coming soon? David |

crown seems authentic  David, it's the first time I see such an elaborate vintage Navi/Cossie fake - and no, we won't see too many of this one, R72 are not that easy to find. very strange. |

maybe it was advertised as 'original prototyp, einzige in die welt' ?

offered in Holland, Renè, not Belgium. for 2.3k, TheSage would charge 30k at least |
