I am not sure how to verify if the Perrelet GMT is real or fake but the research I have done is that they have not copied this specific watch. Also considering on going to a jeweler
What is the forums thoughts on the the trade? I rarely wear my Breitling because it is plastic casing and hand painted so I am afraid I will damage it.
The trade would be even. He is only asking 500 for his but retails around 2k. I know I could sell mine for 1,000 all day long on ebay.

Can't take my word 100% but that looks pretty legit. The detailing on the movement is pretty ornate to be a fake.

Financially it's a fair trade, but I'd take the Sprint.

I agree mine is mint. But worried about durability
I can be pretty hard on my watches.

I also don't know a lot about Perrelet watches

Buy a beater and save the Sprint for special occasions. These Sprints sold for $450 all day long a few years ago so they are appreciating.

I use to own the blue version of that Sprint. The case is pretty durable although it did discolour a little. I'd keep it.

Keep the Sprint. You won't regret it. Perrlet looks good, but.........

Well more accurately he is fronting for someone who is crazy, and well known for having ridiculous prices on highly dubious (at best) pieces.
