numptyj Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi guys I'm not savvy with Breitling so I was wondering if one of you with your fine knowledge would be able to tell me if this watch is fake? should the fact Switzerland is not spelt correctly give it away? cheers J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 fake - for any number of reasons...sliderule doesn't align...does the second hand tick?...3 o'clock subdial looks to be a 24 hour indicator...etc, etc... have you opened the caseback?... and yes - Breitling would never misspell Switzerland... interesting piece, tho...especially the caseback...bentley motors?!...

R- im not sure lol i got these pics from a friend he just wanted clarification whether it was real or not but i have no idea what to look for on a navi lol if the second hand ticks is that a no no sign then as it would mean its running on quartz and it should be auto?

hackR Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 pretty safe to conclude its fake... yes - it's tough to tell which subdial is the seconds hand (either 6 or 9)...sometimes even the "chrono" hand ticks...if it ticks, it's quartz... a good source to look/verify for watches like this is www.watcheden.com they have a whole assortment of quartz, a21j and a7750 models...

jmarin.72 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Outer bezel numbers sit to low on the bezel,24 hour!!!indicator @3,BENTELY MOTORS caseback,SWITZA...WHAT???!!! And the fact that the dw is not sunken...seems like another cheap quartz rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
