Now I am relatively new to Breitling however I am convinced this is a fake?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151247379451? ... 1423.l2649

Calendar + days of the week in sub dials and chronometer spelt in american on clasp? Also date not square in date window

Is it a fake Chrono Avenger?

If so it appears there are some unlucky sods about to lose their money

+3 - Not a very convincing back story either as H Samuel is a low-end jewellery chain whose most exclusive watch brand is Seiko.
