The Breitling Watch Source Forums

This looks fake to me, judging by the wording on the rear.

Seems to be alot of these knocking about at the moment.

I can't tell from those photos, but others are better at these than I am.

If it is fake, a difference from mine, or I am an idiot. If it is fake, it is one helluva copy...but I believe it is fake based on...

Purple: The upside of the clasp is lacking an inner lip...you can see the spring bar. I can't on mine.
Yellow: the 'push' doesn't look right. On both of my Breitling snaps, it is heavily engraved
Dark Blue: It is opened further than either of mine will open
Light Blue: the actual rubber band, the creases where you cut are not well defined like mine
Red: the inside guts look different
Orange: The Breitling and size engraving look off
Green: the hinges look off as well

There have been changes in design since it was launched so lack of 100% match isn't a reliable indicator.

Then in that case it may be real although the issues I've identified are how it differs from my two so I guess it could serve as a base comparison for others. The logo looks placed correctly but I can't see it well with the pics. The polished one I have is pretty old relative to the satin one although that probably doesn't mean much. I imagine making a copy of this wouldn't be all that easy.

I have three of these at the moment: One is from an AD, the other two are from the same seller on ebay, both of which are different, and in my opinion they are both fake.

First tell tale sign was the smell of the straps. Vanilla. From what i can gather, Breitling rubbers smell of rubber, and not vanilla!

Second was the way they open: If you pull each strap away from each other when the clasp is open, then the angle of the hinges on the potential fakes are alot different to the one from the AD.

The clasp seems to be longer and slightly wider. They are all the 20mm variety.

Gap beneath the lip where it meets the strap on the non-adjusting side.

PUSH font not as bold, not engraved as heavy.


Currently in a dispute on ebay over these, fingers crossed they see sense!

I'm not sure, but probably fake.
