wrong date font, dodgy paperwork, clasp etching isn't parallel with flip lock

Well date font is definitely wrong, but I can't find anything else wrong with the watch itself. Maybe the bezel font is off, but need to look at them side by side to be sure before reporting. It's scary if the only way to tell is a date wheel that can be replaced.

Bingo. I've just checked my reference online high end replica dealer and there is a near perfect copy of this model. The only tell I can see is the radiussing in the inner corners of the bezel digits, as per the non-chrono version, especially the on the '60'.

This definitely has the telltale. And same serial number range as the fake version, 2596xxx
Reported

Edit: Gone

Good work Ade.
My guess is that a collector took the date wheel for a project and flipped the rep.

I would dangerously assume that the eBay seller knew it was fake.
The falsified papers for a start.

If I was a proper jeweller, I'd be looking for a matching serial on the movement bridge, which none of the breitling reps have.

Thanks. Yes the date looks odd. The photos of this rep I have seen have a pretty good copy of the date font.
