The sliderule is wrong, the date font is wrong, the hands are wrong, the crown is wrong, the subdials are wrong and the pushers don't operate a chronograph, the date wheel is sunken and while you haven't provided a caseback shot, that's wrong as well.

No way in the world that a Breitling AD sold that.

It wasn't a breitling ad it was a verified ad from eBay with a online jewellers shop

It is easy to tell this is fake - the 'B' logo on the seconds hand is backwards.
So this junk was listed on Ebay?? We would love to know the details as this one must have slipped by us.

Semantic confusion here?? We thought you meant 'AD' = (Breitling) Authorised Dealer. But you should be straight back to them for a refund on this.

Sorry you got ripped off. We try our best to spot all the listings of eBay fakes but this one obviously slipped through the net.

Just to confirm this is a cheap Chinese fake which sells for under $100.
