This was the last one I looked at in my price range. I would generally like to stay with breitling, but if need be i may have to save a little more...

Well, this one IS real, but it looks in pretty poor condition, plus I think there's an issue with the date wheel. In the first shot I assumed it was half way between the two as it wasn't long past midnight (12:20) : however in the later pictures it's shwoing 4:40 and the date wheel doesn't seem to have moved.

If I was you I'd steer clear of this as you may be looking at an expensive bill if there is a date wheel problem. As others have said, you're best bet is to do your research (this place is a good place to start) and maybe save up a little more cash for something with a few less miles on the clock.

Both the A57035 you linked to are real.

The red dial is from 1997/98 but with 4 days to go, I think the price will probably go over your budget.

I agree with D8 that you should avoid the blue face one because of the date wheel issue.

You will learn a great deal.

No wonder the OP is getting confused if we keep posting misinformation :roll:

The maroon watch is 100% real.

I apologize - it didn't look right to me. I guess I should take my own advice and spend some more time reading posts here.

Cheers!
