Hello all. I am a happy Brietling owner...a new Superavenger this year!

I came across a potential win...or not. I found a watch at a pawn shop. the front bezel is showing a 50th anniversary Navitimer dial with the date window at 6 O’clock (two jets logo). The back of the watch shows a 2004 Hercules engraving with the other usual Breitling engravings very well positioned, embossed..Etc. The number is gk.2188. Has anyone heard of this? Is it a legit Breitling...or a good faker? I have both a croc and leather strap for the watch. I also have a Brakelite box and travel system for it. I do not want to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer if it is not for real! I do not have the official registration documents to support authenticity.

Thank you in advance for help!!

Better to post a few pictures of it, and preferably at least one with the back taken off to show the movement. Otherwise, its very difficult to assess.

well, if it says "50th anniversary" on the dial and has a date window at 6, it's fake, I'm afraid.
there was a Wempe LE w/ the twinplane logo and date at 6, but it has that logo on the dial.

No need for pictures, it's a fake.

It does not list "50th" anywhere but has the two jets on the dial. It has the date window on the dial at 6. Thoughts? I will upload pics soon for confirmation. If a fake...not a lot invested thank goodness! The sub dials measure 24 hours, days, and weeks. The second hand sweeps not like a chonometre where the sub dial does that function.

100% fake based on what you mentioned about the subdials.

This is why I love this forum. These guys are great. Don't even need a picture - It's Fake.
