Hey guys, just wondering if any of you can put a name to this Breitling. Any input would be much appreciated!

Regards,
SydneySider

I think the name is Fugazi! It has chronograph pushers, but no subdials. In any case, even if it was a real Breitling, it's ruined already. :)

From photos looks like fake/franken.
Need better photos to be sure.

That's the Breitling gaudy craphoro model. Real popular on Chicago's west side with the maniac clown gangstas

thank you to the people who gave normal (mature) answers, any input would be appreciated. I really like the size and shape of the watch and too think the diamonds are tacky. More opinions would be greatly appreciated as i will be selling my 2tone Date just diamond of pearl with bezel to purchase. Over rolexes tbh

Hi sydneysider, as much as it is difficult to tell from these pictures there are plenty of Breitling models that could be what you are looking for.
I suggest that you look at the Windrider and Aeromarine Series here as a start if you are looking for s used/older model to narrow down what tickles your fancy:

Alternatively check out the Breitling web site if you want a current model:

http://www.breitling.com/en/index.php#


Hope this helps.

It certainly looks fake, however if it is geniune it is from the special Breitling range which I am going to call the "Hideous" range. It is for people with no style or class and want to show everyone how wealthy they are. You see the thing about Breitling is that if you appreciate their heritage, the Navitimer is a good choice, but someone who just wants a Breitling for the brand value and has no taste this one is ideal.

No I don't like it, can you tell!?

I'm sorry if this reply doesn't really help; it is just that there are Breitlings that have been modified by jewellers and covered with diamonds; if it is a geniune one then it will be one of these. It just doesn't really suit a Breitling model really; really makes them look tacky, as mentionned above.

Thanks Simon, i agree that the diamonds look tacky but as stated i really like the size and the shape. Willing to pay someone $100 if they can actually name the watch and band (through paypal)

Regards,

If you only like the size and shape, you can get any Breitling Chronomat or Avenger and just pick the size that fits your wrist the best. Also, how could you even verify that any guess on what type of Breitling that is actually correct? The pics you posted are so blurry. Where did you pull those pics from?

@ SydneySider

Are you sure this is a Breitling? Pics are not good enough for for me to tell.

To me, it looks like the work of someone like TraxNYC who do custom work on all manner of watches from AP to G-Shock.

Worth dropping them a line to see if it's one of theirs.

The band is a pilot bracelet, and they all come in a standard size now, so no need to search further. The size of the watch really has no bearing as even if you like how it looks on that guy's wrist, it really depends on your wrist size as to whether it would look good on your wrist (as you may have a bigger or smaller wrist size than the guy in the photo). Again, how can anyone positively ID that watch when the pics are so blurry. The watch has chronograph pushers but doesn't look like it has any chronograph subdials which would mean it's a fake Breitling in the club. And who would take photos like that when they're in a club?

So let's say I say it's a Chronomat. How do you know what I say is positively correct by those blurry photos?...unless that's you wearing that watch at the club thereby knowing exactly what it is. Lol

Yeah the photos are shocking but I think a Chronomat. Given the thickness of the pushers I'm going to narrow it down to an Evolution. But really who knows?
