Not sure about this one, so didn't report it yet.
A low feedback score and a cannot find the box and papers story, always gives me an uncomfortable feeling.
Besides that the hands of the upper side dials seems to be mixed up and at the date it looks like the 2 is positioned a bit higher as the 1.

It looks okay as it passes the date width test

Tnx guys, I've got a long way to go regarding recognizing fakes and am eager to learn.

Does this mean the fake of this model has got a wider or smaller date width?

The date window on this (and the Blackbird) fake is wider. A few threads here with side by side images.

Okay tnx a lot, I will try to find those threads.

Yes, Sharkmouth has a couple of side-by-side pics that is has posted before that show the date width difference. Its only a very slight difference but is obvious when you look at how the corners of the date border align with the BREITLING text.

let me add the tells I have listed in that thread:

"gaps on sliderule !
sliderule fonts & arrow
minute hand seems a bit too long ?
as Sharkmouth wrote, date font off."

Gen on the left.

Here a more typical example of the quality fake copy, with correct font size on the 'BREITLING' text below the date. Note how the bottom corners of the date window border extend half way across the B and G chars.

I see what you mean.
Tnx a lot (Fred also), much appreciated.
