I guarantee it doesn't. It's a known fake serial number.

Sorry Julie, as the others have said, 1111 is found on lots of fake watches.

My grandfather gave me this watch, he said that since he's had it, the wrist band was replaced by him. It has a tourbillion i think.... Is this watch real . I tried all the blogs about spooting fakes and so far its passed. except for this tourbillion thing... Now the watch looks like it hasnt been taken care of. I will not have it restored until I know if its real or not. I have pics below.....

No one can answer your question because the watch is nothing but a cheap fake and the reference and serial number have little to do in this case with a real Breitling. It is comprised of various parts to resemble at least 5 types of Breitlings. Since this watch is fake, then the "model number" has no meaning or purpose what-so-ever on this watch other than to deceive. This is the a68062 for a real Breitling, the B1:

All models of this watch will usually, for the most part, differ only in the dial color. There are no "different" models for this reference number and as mentioned above by the OP and answered by various members here, 1111 is a common well know fake serial number. You'll notice your watch has precisely the same serial number as the OP's.

Cool... Thanks. I already assumed that the watch was a fake. I just wanted more history on why that certain model number has literally hundreds of replica's. I really intriuged by the Breitling watch collection, I hope to own a real one..... one day. But thanks for the second opinion.

The tourbillon is actually the easiest confirmation of a fake, and I'm surprised none of those blogs clued you in on that. There is only one genuine Breitling model with a tourbillon and it costs around $150,000, is made in extremely low numbers, and looks nothing like your watch. As a general rule, if you see a Breitling with a tourbillon, it's fake.
