Looks fishy; - Seller claims case is brushed (as it should be), but definitely polished - Fake Crosswind Special box/papers, - date suspiciously between two days so can't check the font, but looks wrong - crystal not raised http://cgi.ebay.com/Breitling-Navitimer ... 500wt_1394 Edit: Just checked Sharkmouth's fake analysis: http://f4buz.com/watches/breitling/fakes/fighters.html I can give the benefit of the doubt to the above but the fact that the chrono secs are marked in 1/4 sec instead of 1/5 sec is the clincher. Bidding already up to $1,500 Reported I don't know how much variance there is in the serial nos. of these fakes but seen two with LE no. 5764 and all seem to have the Messerschmitt typo. (I suspect this one does too as seller omits it from description) |

Reported - "'Quality' Fighters fake. Date font is wrong, watch should have 1/5th second ticks, not 1/4th." |

re-reported +1, but I'm afraid this is another replica sale which ebay will let proceed. |
