Hi Guys

Looking to maybe purchase the following watch.
Can anyone tell me if it is real or fake ?
Don't want to get burned on my first watch.

Thanks

Its a pattern thats pressed or machined in to the surface of a dial. Some Breitlings have a concentric circle guilloche on the subdials (or parallel lines in this example.)
