I've noticed two variations on the chronomat evo band. The breitling wings are raised on one more than the other. Are both legit? Thanks in advance!

They both look legit to me.. The raised wings logo are on newer style bracelets, whereas the etched logo is found on earlier models, however I don't know when they changed over.

Hi,

I also just got a Breitling Chronomat Evolution as a gift and the wings are raised and its not polished under the clasp.

Was wondering if that a sign that its a fake?

Here are some pics.

The underside of most, maybe all, Breitling safety clasps is not polished.

Thank you! But i have seen both polished and unpolished thats why i asked. And what about the wings being raised thats nothing to worry about right?

And also where can i find the best guide to base all the other details if real or fake?

Can't comment on the watch, but band looks fine and as already discussed in this thread raised logo clasps are just newer. If you aren't sure about the watch post pictures in the replica section and we'll soon tell you.
