Please can you help me,

I have received a gift of a stainless steel Breitling chronographie watch and I wish to know if it is real or fake,
I have included a picture of front and back with the markings.

Thanks in advance

The hands are wrong, its missing the date function, the subdials are counting the wrong things, the tach markings are wrong. There honestly isn't much right with it. Look at a pic of the real thing and you will see it isn't even close.

It looks nothing like a real model. The supposed chronograph is a calendar, the supposed diamonds are cheap bits of plastic crystal (a lot of which have fallen out), the hands are cheap bits of stamped plastic, etc, etc, etc.

It's a very cheap, very nasty fake.

Edit, natesen beat me to it.
