...it's still fake. The guy probably thinks it's real, quite a long description. The hands are pure junk, the B is I think upside down, the date is sunk, the crown is wrong, the subdials are wrong, the list goes on and on.

+1 "The 'B' is literally backwards. Do I need to say more?"

"No box or factory warranty, Comes with my 14 day Guarantee and my verbal Authenticity (I personally know the previous owner)
FYI: Only Brietley Corporation Can give a true Certificate of Authenticity. Any other company that gives a certificate of authenticity for these watches other than Brietley, (there certificate is just worthless piece of paper)"

I did also when I first reported it, this was the response given:

Quote:
No I didn't know this in my research only beitling can authenticate there watches and you have to send it off to do this. one of my closes friends that is the real owner was told it was when he got it. I see many like this but blue and to me they look the same. does it have any value do you know.


I replied that much like fake currency has no value, same with the fake watch.

"Hi...you seem like an honest seller so as a Breitling owner and fan, I am sorry to say this watch is fake. See http://www.ehow.com/how_7168116_recogni ... 25362.html as a start. You will notice that the gold Breitling logo on it looks like mush and that the 'B' on the second hand is actually backwards and inverted unlike a real Breitling. I figured I'd let you know ahead of time to try to save you from any issues arising. Notice how different the face is here on an authentic model: http://www.powerpoint-vorlagen.ch/#. The chronographs are all wrong as well. Hope this helps!"
