Just when I was starting to think I know something about the brand, I stumbled upon this one. I know for a fact that it's a replica... but what are the giveaways? I know, it's not the best picture for that, but still... Do you see anything that's off? |

Check the 46 second tick mark on the main dial and the missing #11 tick on the 12:00 subdial. The 46 should be short but it's long and of course there should be an 11 tick. |

And date is recessed, it should be up flush to the window. Date looks off centre and wrong font. |

#1 tick is also too long. |

Wow. You guys are good. Which #1 is too long? And also, I think the #11 tick is there, it's just a little out of place. Thank you! Awesome eyes. EDIT: It's scary... the sucker even comes with a Valjoux 7750. |

EDIT: It's scary... the sucker even comes with a Valjoux 7750. #1 tick on the main dial. The #11 tick is absent as this was a common error on this Chronomat fake version. Sharkmouth has a great replica site and specifically addresses the common errors on the Chronomat Evo. Check it out here. http://f4buz.com/watches/breitling/fakes/fakes.html |

That's the v1 replica from 4 or 5 years ago. The new ones have corrected the date font and missing 11 mark on the 12 o'clock sub-dial. The minute ticks are the best way to spot the replicas. Quote: the sucker even comes with a Valjoux 7750. Whilst it was/is possible to buy the replica with a genuine ETA7750 movement, 99.99% have an Asian copy movement.
