Hello, I'm very curious if this watch is real or fake, i've been looking around for some similar watches but with no succes. Here's some pictures of it. I have a strong hunch that the watch is fake.

Is there any way to know for sure if it's fake or real? It was my uncles, and he gave it to my father and now my father passed it on to me. I've been looking on replica websites but havn't been able to find my model.

a bit of patience, others will chime in, though chances of it being authentic are quite slim

I looked at the caseback first which looks surprisingly close. The rest is junk, faux chrono dial layout with the interesting addition of month in the date window. Bezel is creative but not even Breitling would do that.

I'm sorry, but it is fake for sure.
