I saw this website show up on Business Insider yesterday and when I was looking through their listings on Breitling, I saw a few listed and noticed that they guarantee authenticity. I'm not expert, but I was just wondering if these are all real. Personally I'm not looking to buy any of them, but when I saw that they guarantee the authenticity, I thought I'd bounce them off the experts.

The Sicura is a $250 watch on a good day. The 1st $2500 Breitling looks mostly correct and I sold the last two I had for around $300. The $2800 articulated lug watch is a redial but can't tell anything further from the pic. The $1200 Long Playing looks basically correct. The gold Chronomat looks basically ok. I think the $2100 vintage date is a fake. The Top Time might be correct but not enough pics to tell. The three color dial watch is a redial and maybe a franken, hard to tell. The pics aren't the best so difficult to say for sure.

I was looking at the Chronomat 769 and was wondering what is up with the dial and why it looks backwards.

sorry, disagree w/ Paul, do not think the Long Playing is correct, fake for me.

Paul, what ref. are you thinking about ?

I found some better pics of it and I agree, I think it's a fake. A 7103 Long Playing is a three register watch. Looks sort of like a mixture of a Datora and Long Playing but no telling what's inside.
