Is it fake? I have asked twice for more pictures and the only response is: Sure.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221212241292&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_243wt_1129

and what about this one. Figured it is.

First one's Photo looks like it was lifted from Breitling's website, so what you would receive is anyones guess. Second one is Fake.

I figured both were fake ads. I reported both but doubt ebay will do anything (as usual).

+1.

First as "Stock photo used, no real description of the watch - clear attempt to defraud."

Second as "Caseback doesn't match model, date font is wrong and date wheel is sunken."

Photo of 2nd attached, no point in putting stock photo.
