Hi

Can some of the experts please have a look at the 2 attached photos below and tell me if both the breitling strap & deployment are 100% genuine. Ive been told that the underneath of the other strap has CROCO written on it (not cuir)

Many thanks

Not always easy to tell, but fake for me.

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply. I asked the person who was selling it, and he told me it was 100% genuine and not to buy if I was unsure at all. He wouldn't send me photos showing the back of the other strap. So i'll just leave it.

The way the Manufacture en Suisse text is mis-aligned is typical of fakes, so fake for me too. Also, the copperplate font style on the s looks out, it looks like 'Suiooe'

Edit: Reported and gone now :popo:
