Sorry I'm not a watch specialist - can someone tell me if this is a Franken? I suspect this is a no-brainer, esp. since it is from Argentina, but I want to hear it from someone who knows more about it than I do.

If it's real please don't snipe it from me LOL

thanks

Thank you - I'm glad I asked. I thought it was obvious, but as I said, I'm a newbie. I like this type of case, like the old Borel watches, but I was pretty sure Breitling never made one.

What can people do to help stop this kind of thing - should I report it on Ebay?

NEVER BUY A WATCH FROM S AMERICA NO MATTER WHAT! It could be a form of self abuse... like that song "Little Old Man" where he goes out everyday to see if the train will run over him and it does but he keeps doing the same thing!
