It looks so real, it's scary. I asked the seller and it is aftermarket and the pictures are of the actual fake item. All I can say is WoW.

I have the same strap buckle combo and this looks way too real....

Ordinarily would let this through as the seller's description makes it clear, but given how the main photo highlights Breitling and the heading doesn't say aftermarket, reported as "Seller admits aftermarket, but clear breach of copyright with logo use."

Not produced by the original manufacturer. Think of a 3rd party strap. However, here it is claiming (by the name / logo) to be real, which crosses the line to 'fake' - pretending to be something that it is not.

So I contacted the seller:

Here is how it went. Read from the bottom up.

********************
Dear "seller",

I love watches. I would not pay even $5 for a fake AAA Rolex with ETA movement. To me a fake is a fake. I would not mind paying top dollars for a high quality band or strap but don’t logo Breitling on it if it aint that!!! Maybe that is just me.

And sorry to say, why would I ever, ever, ever wanna pay $169 for a fake rubber bracelet???? Just because the genuine is $400??? That reasoning does not work well with me my friend.

I am sure there are plenty of people who would love to buy a fake and pretend it’s real. I prefer not to pretend.

- me

***************************************

From: seller
To: me

Scary?
and paying $500 for a piece of rubber that couldn't have cost Breitling more than $3 is not? ;)

I have a question Al, just outta curiosity. Suppose I had a 6263 Daytona ROLEX, pretty much like item no. 200868022967, not produced by Rolex, but assembled (by myself) from 100% GENUINE VINTAGE NOS ROLEX parts. Would you pay say.. 25% of market price for it?

Just a hypothetical question and would love to hear your opinion.
from NY with love,

- seller

***************************************

From: me
To: seller

Dear seller,

WoW. it's scary that the fakes have gotten so good. Unless you are using a generic photo, the one you are selling looks amazingly close to the real one. Thanks.

- me

Title implies it is genuine.
