Is there a more common fake deployant style? I have seen both in same size with seemingly credible authenticity? I have seen some bad fakes with wings etched on. Can you follow the same rule that stamped should have little or no imprint on interior? I know this is a relatively minor item, but would rather spend the money on a real one versus a fake. Thanks for the insight

I haven't seen as many raised variants, but post pictures here before you commit. |

Yup, I was attaching the photos as you were replying. Thanks. Apparantly I ended up with this so, I'll let you know when I receive it. Again, for $125, would be a good deal I think (if real). |

Very suspect - the logo imprint looks OK (but they were copied quite well towards the end of that variation), but the Breitling wording doesn't look right. Hard to be 100% from the photos, but I'd get it to an AD as soon as it arrives to be sure. Mike

FAKE!  The Breitling font is absolutely off, the impression edges are very soft and the mechanism flimsy. I will include detailed photo and name of eBay vendor shortly as he is listing the same with same pics on eBay for $450!!!!!!
