typical Buenos Aires Breitling, of course this is fake.

nothing here is authentic; but these sell daily, not a thing we can do against this.

some inquired about this particular watch on WUS & I had to defend myself, as others claimed the "gilded , perfect logo" on the movement bridge would indicate this was authentic ......

Fred to me this is the ultimate in stealing! Its sad that ebay allows this. Paypal must be refunding tons of money when buyers find out they have been taken because I am sure these dishonest sellers don't refund. Too bad Paypal couldn't be notified of fakes just like ebay so the could block payments then maybe EBAY would catch on.

Notice it's not a chronograph but a chromograph. :nana:

Rick, they refund without too many issues, just to relist the piece the next day.
used to publish "do not buy" lists, but there are too many fakes, too many fools.

edit: sold for $900, actually a bit lower than many others; giving the faker a tidy profit of about 200% on his investment ....
