Second one definitely is - that was never a Breitling. The first one has some issues, but may be a Breitling at the core - do you have model / serial numbers?

Thank you guys for the fast answers. Just to clarify, the first could have the case replaced? or do you think it is all fake?

Frankenwatch - could be some real Breitling bits, but I doubt it.

First one looks like S American crap - 2 tone pinata dial. Must be one of the smaller countries given the size of the engraving on the back - LOL. Note that the minute counter gear is for a 45 minute sub register but the dial is a 30 minute - what an idiot! Even a correct Breitling case would not help this one.
Second one is beyond crap. Craig
