Not a bad fake but date window is too far to the right and Breitling logo does not correctly line up with the word BREITLING. Date font is also wrong.

Side by side for future reference.

yep, had to look twice and compare to gens to be sure, date color also off; caseback not so bad either, documented below; sliderule font off & huge gap, bracelet is totally off.

we should add some more gen pics (including casebacks) to the model overview or maybe a "sticky" w/ tells of the quality fakes, this was too good to call on the iphone screen; maybe a sticky link to your page too, Sharkmouth ?

Thanks for the info Fred and Sharky. To be honest, the only thing I look for on GT fakes other than the date font is a wide outer bezel scale that is noticable as the red arrow is shifted out of position. (I think this is due to use of a standard Bentley case on the fake rather than the smaller GT one). Here is an example:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0834834509

Reported - "2036903 is a known fake s/n of this model, date font wrong outer bezel scale too wide"

Reported both as "Sliderule and date font are incorrect. Day / date window are too close to edge of dial."
