I'm certain the Pro Diver 1 listed here is a fake :popo: :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Breitling-blue-wa ... reParts_SM

What about this leather strap and clasp from the same seller?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Breitling-leather ... reParts_SM

The writing on the strap just doesn't look right, but I'm not quite 'expert' enough to denounce as definitely a fake :?:

Over to the gurus... :geekfuman:

'Usual' fake - croc strap with Cuir on the back (should be Croco).

Reporting straps on eBay seems to be a fruitless exercise as they rarely do anything, but what the heck - reported.

Shots of the strap carefully cover up the give away so no way to tell - and I'm not sure what the tells are on the deployant.

Both fake (look at the wings logo on deployant), but description is: "22-20 Watch Strap Deployment Clasp for Breitling Watch".

Semantics maybe but don't think my rule of deliberate deception has been broken. Up to Breitling to get the auction pulled.

Re Deployant: I'm going to 'ask seller a question' and see what he says - will report back
