Sorry, but this is obvious fake - for starters, chrono subregisters are all wrong and manufacturing quality is awful. No AR coating on the crystal as evident in photos. This is bad fake and easy to spot.

If you put Breitling A12322 in Google you'll get picture of original and then just compare the looks of subdials on original and that one on Ebay.

Here is the original:

BTW it says that ref is A24322 on the case back which is even more wrong than A12322

BTW2 while we are at subject, on the Russian site you linked, you can easily see that rubber strap is not original because it has particles of dust on it. It indicates that its made of silicone while original straps are made of real rubber and they don't attract dust
