On the front in the middle of the three dials it says "BREITLING CHRONOMETRE NAVITIMER" under the Breitling symbol. The main dial is silver and the end of it looks like an anchor in the shape of the letter B. On the back of the watch it says B13356 in a small little box. The rest says "CHRONOGRAPHE CERTIFIE CHRONOMETRE". Under this, it says "Manufacture En Suisse Etanche 300m". I found this watch about a month ago on a job site. I am hoping it's real, but I think it's a fake. It seems to good to be true to find a 3000 dollar watch somewhere. Can anyone help me out? http://img709.imageshack.us/i/1010092l.jpg/ http://img571.imageshack.us/i/1010095.jpg/ http://img194.imageshack.us/i/1010098r.jpg/ |

Don't be. I figured it would be. How could you tell? |

It's got many problems but the most obvious is that the subdials are incorrect. There is supposed to be a chronograph (stop watch) activated by the pushers that has minutes on one subdial and hours on another with the third subdial being the running seconds. That one doesn't have a stop watch and the subdials indicate days and 24 hours. |

The date font and bezel markings are also off, among other things. If you compare it to pictures of real Navitimers, you'll be able to spot the flaws in the fake. |
