I am not much of an expert, but I'd almost have to buy this at the price if it were real? Seems like the UTC alone would be almost worth it. Can it be fixed with that cracked display or is the patient terminal?

Thanks!

It's real but likely in need of a new movement.

Is the bracelet real? Don't see Breitling anywhere on it. Anyone have a rough idea on cost of a movement? I have a trip coming up in the fall and thought the UTC might be nice for keeping track of the two time zones so we can call the dog watcher back in the states at the right time. Hey don't judge me it is all about the dog...I am in a pack of three and my wife is the Alpha, I know my place is one rung down the ladder from the dog.

Might be a nice piece to buy use and unload.

watch is real, bracelet is aftermarket, not sure on utc, but probably real - can't see it good on mobile phone display.

I should learn to read. Seller states not original bracelet. :oops: Also says analog part still works and LCDs broken. UTC has makeshift plastic crystal. It was in a car wreck. Probably more of a project than I am after...but interesting none the less. Good to know it is original. Thanks!

Head is real. Have my doubts about the UTC.
