"Fake Breitling strap, made of embossed mock-croc leather, not crocodile skin of genuine. :

- The 'Cuir Veritable' label means genuine calf leather so incorrect for a crocodile strap.
- The 'Manufacture en Suisse' text is incorrect and has typical telltales of 'replica' Breitling straps. The text is misaligned with the Suisse descended and wrong font ('s' char looks like an 'o')"

Got burned on the same strap about 5 years ago and thanks to Breitlingsource, I learned my lesson. In fact a member from here emailed me when I was trying to sell it on ebay to explain that it was a fake. :oops:
