A collector friend of mine mentioned something last week that I had not thought about before. He said - have you noticed that a lot of the fakes from S America have "piñata dials"? When I saw this one today - http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-BREITLI ... 946wt_1365
I reminded me of what he had said. I think it applies to a lot of the hands on these fakes. The strangest thing is that buyers seem to be really attracted to these hideous dials! So.... post your best (or worst) "piñata dial" fake Breitling this week.

The scary thing is..... they are selling. P.T. Barnum was right and proof is in the buyers hands unfortunately.
