Can someone tell me if this real?
I got my first B-ling in March and you guys warned me "you don't get just one".
I love the blue dial.
Thanks for your help.

Do you mind doing this or is more of a pain for you?
It sure helps a newbie.

Better luck next time!

I moved this to the replica identification section and as you can see from the level of activity here there are quite a few requests. It's no bother at all, especially for people like yourself who are genuinely looking to learn / acquire as opposed to those who simply come here to see if they can pass off their PoS fake as real :lol:

If you are looking for Navitimer ref x23322. Be aware there is a good fake copy of this model but it has several flaws and is easy to spot with experience. Specifically:

- The date window display is sunken and has the wrong font. The single digit dates are not rotated 90 degs.
- The bezel rim is slightly too thick
- The case back shape is wrong, domed profile rather than bevelled as the gen.
- Usually has a common serial number, 503959

Hi guys:
Two more possibilities to check on. I think I've read everything on this site about fakes, good reading. I believe both of these are legit.
