It is appearantly of very poor construction, it doesn't resemble any of the regular production models, the date window cut outs are oval, its the most common fake watch and easily ID'd as a fake. Finish on back of watch is poor and doesn't match 1) Breitlings quality and 2) doesn't match production models.

The ONLY Breitling watch that this hunk of junk even remotely resembles is the torbillion and it's pretty easy to recognize the difference between a $15 POS and a $80,000+ watch.

Yea, it's worth a good laugh....the real one is worth about $150,000 - $200,000. It is the single most faked Breitling. You can use it as a paper-weight though.

Funny story. We had a 250k platinum mulliner tourb on a bracelet stolen from us in a burglary. Grey dial. One of a kind. I was at this car show in Miami and I see this dude with the same watch on from about 10 feet away. So I go grab his arm and say" hey man, nice watch. Let me see that" and he looks at me funny and I pull his wrist up to look at it and see a double day window. I just looked at him, laughed and walked away. He was lucky it was fake cause that wasn't gonna end well for him if it was real.

they also make a great sound when you throw them into a wood chipper.
