I need help identifying a Breitling whether its fake or real, I have attached a photo of the front of the watch and caseback. Hope this is enough information. Thanks. |

I believe that there is a quality fake of this model, I wouldn't want to call it on those photos. |

 Looks OK to me (at least from the front). The only fake Colt 44 I know of is a quartz model with incorrect date font, pearl and ref # on the case back. This looks fine. Agree with Fred that the case back looks cheap but I've no idea what it should look like. |

Yeah I just had to do it at this angle which made it look worse, because I didn't want to show the serial number in the photo. |

Oh also there is a stamped and dated warranty card with Ernest Jones as the retailer with receipt provided as well but I believe this can be faked so just wanted confirmation from here. |

I have never seen a full set of matching serial documents with a fake. |
