Its one for BNewbie to confirm but the serial number is suspect as the 2320xxx range is used by the quality fakes of this model.

Also, the serif on the 15 bezel tab looks wrong as does the applied logo

The lume looks bad to me, but wait for others.

Case back stamping looks wrong to me as well, but that could be my bad eyes.

Well, scary really.

I agree with the font used on 15. The 1 is too narrow. Can't quite tell if the hour sub dial is a black hand or if its just the light, but should be metallic. The double batten at 5 is too close to the 12 hour sub dial, something looks wrong with the date window too. I think the flying B is too deep and not wide enough, although it could be the picture.

If nothing else, I have never seen a lug recess machined so poorly on a Breitling - its all over the place. Check out the edge near the braclet.

You need to get more certainty with this one, buy the seller first then buy the watch if it all lines up.

Also the red word automatic usually does not sit on top of sub dial, normally has a little space in between it.Image
