Good afternoon all,
I have come across this watch, it is beautiful, the mechanism is almost hypnotic to watch.
Sadly I think it is "less than genuine" and I'm asking for verification either way if that's possible.
Regards
Blue Andy

Sadly you are correct, it’s not genuine

Thanks, it's appreciated.
Seller is unfortunately giving me some pushback, can you provide some details or evidence please?
I could really use some specifics if that's possible as he is adamant that it's genuine.

What exactly do you think would convince a seller that the piece they sold you is not genuine, particularly when they were the seller of the fake piece in the first place? There is no "book of fake watches", and there are plenty of pictures of similar fake models to be found on the Internet to give them solace that it is real.

You might point out that the Breitling script on the dial is the entirely incorrect font style, or that the watch is missing a Breitling script on the case back, but you would need to be able to prove what these look like on real watches, and there is no "book of real watches" either.

Thanks, yeah good point!
He has a ton of feedback for some good watches, all vintage so I believe He's a good guy.
I guess I'm just trying to avoid raising a case, unless it becomes absolutely necessary.
