interesting, as seller is quite open about his activities, seems proud of it:
"This watch is $4K less than other Breitlings because it was custom built by a watchmaker. I bought a Breitling 7750 Chrono movement, the Breitling Dial and Breitling Pro II bracelet. Because I don't believe in conflict diamonds I had the equivalent of 15 carats of white sapphire sprofessionally installed on bracelet and bezel.

The watchmaker was unable to find a Super Avenger case for the watch so we went with an aftermarket case that is 99% identical to factory.
In order to place such large stones we had to use a aftermarket bezel and it does not rotate because of the large sizes of stones. A lot of Breitlings use aftermarket bezels so that is no big deal."

He's being completely open about what he's done so not a problem for me.

I have an issue with this one as the heading claims it to be a Breitling.

Reported as "Seller admits watch was assembled with combination of real and fake parts but selling as Breitling."
