Just got a new Professional Titanium bracelet for my Aerospace, but I am getting some bad vibes from it. (It was purchased from an authorized dealer.)

I have attached a picture with three things that are a bit disturbing to me. Am I paranoid? :? Bad quality? :evil: HELP!

Not the greatest photo, but I am not aware of any fake titanium bracelets, and highly unlikely that you would get one from an AD.

Sorry about the poor quality of the photo. The uneven embossing of "BREITLING" is difficult to capture in a photo; easier to see in real life.

I have attached a close-up of the unfinished surface. It has simply not been touched since the initial pressing of the metal.

If this is real, then I am surprised that there is such lack of attention to details. Having lived in China for four years, these would be tell-tale signs of poor copies in my eyes. (Not that I ever found any good copies.) Since I paid a fortune for the bracelet, I would say that this would be an excellent copy business. And low risk too.

Am I expecting too much?!
