The Breitling Watch Source Forums

So I did my research, and thought this was 100% real, but I wanted a real opinion. I bought this from an eBayer who has titanic feedback, and has a jewelers appraisal saying it's real, but the pins that hold the hands are black, and I've heard that is an indication that it's a fake!! I didn't notice the color until after I bought the watch!!! PLEASE tell me I don't have to send this one back!! Thanks!

Sorry, here is the link to the item:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Breitling-Navit ... istwatches

Fake: 503959 is a common fake serial number for the A23322

Oh no... Thanks. Once I get it in my possession, I will have my dealer look it over to give me proof. I might tell this seller to cancel the transaction. Unreal!!!!

Just minutes before your post, I was looking at this more obvious fake A23322 with the same serial number!!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-Breit ... 2522wt_911

Yours is a fairly good fake, apart from the S/N the only major telltale is the date font doesn't look right

So is the one I bought a fake, or the one in the link you provided? I'm freaking out thinking I got jammed out of $3200!!!

The are BOTH fake! I'd try and get the transaction cancelled.

The one that you bought is fake.

Most obvious issue is the sunken date wheel and the incorrect date font.

If you haven't yet paid, don't. If you have then start a claim with PayPal. We'll report the watch and it will be removed by eBay because it's an obvious fake.

Reported as "Bezel, sliderule and date font incorrect. Sunken date wheel and known fake serial number."


edit ade113 beat me to it.

Reporting Both

Oops, thought yours was the one from earlier.

Reported that one as "Bezel, sliderule, subdials, caseback and crown are incorrect."

OMG!! What can I do at this point?? This guy has super high feedback and an appraisal. By reporting this, will eBay cancel the transaction or do I have to jam this guy up?! Thanks everyone for the input. I thought I was smarter than this.....

Calm down, read and follow the advice already given!

If you haven't paid, don't pay. If you have, make a claim. Who cares about the seller - he's selling a fake!!!!

Oh ok. So does that mean this one is ok?

No.
