Looks OK to me and I've not seen any replicas of this model. But...

How come a seller of PlayStation games suddenly has Breitlings, Rolex, IWC, JLeC, Zenith, custom shop Gibson, Fenders and PRS for sale?

Highly suspicious but nothing to report.

Is the GMT hand on this correct ???
http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... y_179.html shows only the outer edges in red ?
have also never seen a fakte b4, but: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=31303
here the subdials are clearly wrong, definite fake (even not considering the BIN price) ?

Looks fine to me. Here's a stock pic

Btw, I tend to use the term "replica" to refer to a near 1:1 copy where you're looking for tiny differences to spot it's not real and "fake" for a cheap knock-off where the sub-dials are wrong etc.

as I said, not familiar with those. looked at the http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... y_179.html examples, all these have different GMT hands. Did this change recently ?

Watch is real Midnight Carbon.

Agree with Sharkmouth on the seller though and with a stated Buy It Now price of $2,500 there is clearly a scam going on here.

Reported as suspected fraudulent - "Inconsistent with seller history, only 1 photo (of real watch) and low BIN price stated in listing."

Gone but this is the same watch in the pic. I guess this is a different real seller as the price is more realistic and a detailed description.

That's where the other seller stole the picture.
