| Post subject: | Breitling croc straps/deployants on eBay |
Does this strap/deployant look legit? The color/sheen of the strap looks a little off and there are several other sellers selling the same combo with the exact same description... seems odd, unless eBay autofills the description like they do for some popular items ie iPads, etc? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BREITLING-2 ... 19e000cdc0 other straps with same description from different sellers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BREITLING-2 ... 1c353a9c77 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BREITLING-22MM- ... 19e017e4c9 |

In my opinion the first two are one and the same and are not legitimate, take a look at the printing on the back of the straps and compare it to a legitimate strap. The printing does not line up as it should. The first seller already has neutral feedback concerning the quality of the strap. The third listing is described as croc, however if you look at the printing on the strap it says "Cuir", I myself would stay away! |

All are fake for me. Third one is the earlier poor quality fake with cuir vs. croco and the wrong model number. Pretty sure that the other two are the newer 'quality' fakes. |

Well that was easy, thanks guys... emailed seller asking if they were authentic and his response was: Quote: they are top of the line aftermarket. Genuine go for around 1300 which in my opinion its a waste of money because they look the same. regards mike Very deceptive description... almost got taken in by that auction. Now off to find a real 22mm black croc for a reasonable price, ideas? |

More than deceptive -- outright lies. Fakes don't quite fit my concept of "aftermarket". Try the ADs, or the sell listings here. You can find them on ebay, but it can be tough to separate them from the fakes. This thread has the latest price list that I've seen, and your strap/deployant combo is nowhere near $1300: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38511 |

Emphatically agree, don't know why they wouldn't be reported along with other fakes. He lists them as 'Breitling', not 'for Breitling' or any such fudge, and they have Breitling markings in an attempt to pass off as genuine. He'll figure that for every one punter who asks whether they're genuine there'll be four or five who just innocently buy them. |
