This is the watch, need to scroll down on the page:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360384196467?ss ... 1439.l2648

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The seller's ad says that I have three days to authenticate.

Why would you register two different usernames at pretty much the same time to ask whether two different watches are real?

Looking forward to hearing.

I did not do this, my husband did. We use the same computer. The second post is for a Breitling that I received today. It looks too good to be real for the price of less than $1500. The watch in my husband's post has not been yet received, but it, too , looks too good in the pictures. Only after we bought these did we realize that they could be fake. My husband did appreciate your response. If you have an opinion about this woman's breitling I would like to know it. The watch is beautiful, flawless really for a used watch.

Looks OK to me and I've never heard of a Callistino fake.

Thanks. The Breitling wings are not raised, and some of the spot-a-fake sites have said that it is fake if the logo is not embossed. That is what worried me. Also, the watch is described as pre-owned, but looks absoltely new.

Not al models have embossed logos, and this model was discontinued 6 years ago so definitely not 'new'. If it had a Breitling service then they may well have refinished the case.

Thank you for the information. So nothing seen on the photographs of the watch with the first post raises suspicions that it may not me legit? Very concerned. Already paid. Would like to enjoy it but lingering doubts. Live in small town without recourse of watch expert to inspect the watch and give an opinion.
