Pretty sure this is a fake as it just doesn't look right.

- I can't verify the date window width as the pic isn't clear enough and the "BREITLING" text seems smaller than normal
- the logo on the bracelet clasp definitely looks wrong
- allowing for the fact that the crown is bent, it still appears to be too wide

Edit: The date font well off too.

Date window looks OK to me but agree the font looks odd.

Can't be sure so not reported.

:yeahthat

I think that it's fake, but not the 'normal' fake and can't see enough evidence to report.

Granted it doesn't look like the known quality 6.75 fake but there are enough inconsistencies for me, especially that copperplate style date font.
