Reported:
Fake copy of a Breitling Blackbird model ref A44359. Has the known telltales of the Chinese replica version:
- The date window is too wide relative to the 'BREITLING' above
- The second marks are incorrect/inconsistent lengths at the cardinals (Note the 44th and 46th sec marks are different lengths)
- Poorly machined bezel tabs

Lol at the description.

Since when does a Blackbird come with a pilot bracelet as originally fitted. Duh!

Since when does a chronograph service cost $80 - $150?! Duh!

This guy is making it all up as he goes along

Blackbird comes with pilot bracelet when it is bought from an AD that way - faceted pilot, but still pilot. Seller copied and pasted from this site's model page.

Reported +3 - "'Quality' fake with known flaw of too wide date window."
