So I’ve have read and read thru this forum and other people’s forms and sites claiming to be a unofficial breitling museum. And I have moments when Im pretty sure it a fake and other times I’m not sure. I’ve had this watch some years now and at one point I broke the crown off! So I took it to a watch maker and he couldn’t find a original replacement but found something that would work. At that time the watchmen told me it was real... he’s no breitling buff I’m guessing. So take a look and shoot me straight thanks!

Yeah I had my reservations about it. Would anyone like to pick it apart so I could affirm what I see is fake in relation to all the good info on these forums? Thank you for the help!

They didn’t make a watch that looked like that is the easiest answer! Not a Breitling movement or serial number, dial is not Breitling made, hands aren’t Breitling style.... list goes on!

Hands are a big red flag. The Watchmen should have noticed that immediately.
