Looks very fake to me (although the pic is a bit on the ropey side).

Do anybody know what those replacement watches given to people while their watch is being serviced or something like that, not for sale, look alike?
I think I've heard about them on this or another Breitling forum.

@ shakera
Post a better photo.

Thank you for the answer. I don't have another photo, but can you tell me how to recognize if this is fake, any specific features of Breitling?

Without a close-up of the dial, it's impossible to be certain. Judging by the layout of the dail (i.e. the size and placement of the subdials) the font of the hour indicators, the style of the pushers, the color of the hands, the lack of detail around the bezel, the strap which of course could be after-market, and the general lack of any markings that indicate it is a Breitling, aside from a very blurry logo at 12:00, I think the consensus is that this watch is fake.

Sorry if this is bad news, but that's the best assessment I can make given the information at hand.

I just know that it isn't a watch that Breitling have produced since I've been into Breitling watches, which is about 10 to 12 years. From the tiny picture it also doesn't look "Breitling enough" for something they might have produced some time before that. (A bigger picture would allow us to be certain). I only have cursory knowledge of the weird and wonderful models from more than 20 or so years ago, but I've seen enough in the past to say that I'm 99.9% certain it's fake.

Agreeing with Driver on this one, too poor of a picture to truly evaluate, but not a model i recognize.
