As others have said, fake. The weak Breitling logo on the bracelet (it should protrude) shows and the logo is too tall and not quite proportional.

But that's the first double AR'd fake I've ever seen

Edit: if you have this in your possession, can you remove the band to see if there is any lettering on the inner lug side (AKA birthdate)?

Fakes with AR and date stamps have been around for several years and not all genuine bracelets have applied logos, earlier ones are stamped.

It's the first double AR I've personally seen. Some members here have noted that it is one of the nice things that sets real and fake models apart. I've never commented on that either way.

Are there Chronomats from that era that have stamped Pilots?

Applied clasp logos only started about 5 years ago.

Interesting to know.

I was curious about the inner markings as I wasn't sure if they used a common inner marking like a few of the SNs that you guys practically know by heart because they are so common. All I could find was this (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42549) which isn't related.

There are some helpful primer videos on this site prepared by Admin. Here is one on the Evo -

Edit - oh well, since it was originally posted to youtube and the new owner, Google, has cracked down, this very helpful vid is no mas even on this site. Too bad as there are good ones on the Steelfish and CA as well.
