Hi guys, can you tell a newby what you spotted with this one that makes it a fake, apart from the price!

Cheers,

chris

The subdials are too big and are the wrong configuration and color. The slide rule should also be white. If you look at the Navis on the Breitling website, you'll see how this one doesn't add up. Also, no Navi comes with a turbine caseback. Moreover, the "Number 1111" is supposed to be a limited edition series number, which would make a genuine model even more expensive. Another giveaway is the picture quality. Although not sufficient to warrant a report in its own right, a blurry pic is an immediate red flag. If I were to take the time to study it more, I could probably come up with other tells, but these are sufficient to tell me I don't need to waste my time on it.

Well, It's such a poor photo, but the immediate spots for me are, glass reflecting light, sub dials too bright, sub dials also reading day, date, month, anchor on the centre sweep hand,knurling on the bezel too squared off and wrong handset.
