Here is a black Calf and folding clasp, NOS and 1000% sure original for reference....
The lines from the logo on mine look so much sharper, white stitches look very unaligned and messy as well compared to mine.
I'm afraid you bought a fake....

I think that it's OK, but these can be very hard to tell. |

Both strap and deployant look fake to me. |

Proof enough that it can be hard to tell! I really think that we are at the point where buying these on eBay should be avoided. |

Agreed, those new photos don't make it look very good. |

does it happen to be this seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BREITLING-2 ... 19e000cdc0 or that ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BREITLING-2 ... 2331456%26 you'll see these are very similar, "croc-grain" calf, maybe even "man-made" embossed leather. |
