100% fake : case is not Breitling , without any type neither serial numbers on the caseback; the V175 is a 30' version and engraving on the bridge is added and incorrect ; fonts on the dial are not correct . Complete creation ...

Those "pinata" dials are always a red flag. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BAUME-MERCIER-V ... 948wt_1432
