This box is the older style (possibly fake?). I'm just a little bit suspicous that a relatively new watch has lost its box by now. (Maybe the guy has moved house since purchase
)http://cgi.ebay.com/Breitling-Chronomat ... 500wt_1156

Likely rel, but can't be definitive from these pics. |

Date wheel is sunken on the fake, and you can't see that from those photos. |

Looks fake to me, but can't be sure. |

The dial is described as blue. If so, I think the black background on the date is wrong. The correct combo for the blue dial with white/silver subs and chapter ring is white date background. |

I think the AR coating is making the seller think the dial is blue. It looks like the Onyx Black version which does have a black date wheel. This is considered the best replica version as the black on black recessed date wheel is harder to spot. The photos seem carefully staged to avoid showing this. Other flaws on this replica would need macro shots. The box looks fake (logo not wide enough) and the only paperwork is the COSC which is not shown in full. My suspicion is fake but I can't be anything like 100% certain from these photos so not reported. |

The date wheel definitely looks a bit dodgy to me, and the pics have been taken in such a way as to make the date hard to see. In fact ALL the pictures are taken to obscure a clear view.  The box is fake IMO. All this would lead me to suspect the watch is fake as well. Can't be definitive though.

Quote: This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available. Possible deal done off eBay so no come back if/when the buyer finds it's fake?
