Hi all, I am new here. I just wanted help to verify if this is real or fake. From my limited research so far I think this is real by my accounts.
Logo under the 12 looks authentic, not spaced out, slightly raised
Back case is rounded and not flat
"BRIETLING" on the back is in all caps
"A" in the model # is together with the #'s and not apart
Only thing I am skeptical of is the serial (if that's what it is) # 713071. I've believe I've seen that before on a different watch. Is that normal?

Your expert eye and opinions are appreciated in advance

Thanks

The date font is wrong. There is a space between the dashes on the tachymeter and dial and the sub dial spacing looks a little off.

The subdials are also not for a real chronograph (look at 3 and 9) and the date wheel is sunken.

So how does a $15,000 (?) watch fall into someone's lap which they suspect is real but don't know for sure? Hold that thought for a sec, someone just parked a silver 928 in my driveway and through the keys in the mailbox.

:welcome: but unfortunately, :fake:

The sub-dials are the most obvious tell that it's a cheap fake.
