Damn I hate posts like this.......

I can't see the dial very well - a full on shot would help, but judging by the movement and the caseback that watch is not a Breitling - it's a no name watch that has been redialled as a Breitling. If you haven't paid for the item yet then I would try and get out of the purchase unless you are happy that you paid a price that reflects the fact that it isn't real.

That is a bloody shame. . .
Ok, I m posting a full on dial picture, I thought I posted it, must have missed it, maybe this pic would put to rest once and for all that it is a fake.

Roffensian, Thanks for the clarification.

So besides the caseback, what is wrong with the dial that made it fake, could you kindly enlighten me so that I could be a bit more careful next time!

Yeah fake, but a nice hue of green.

If you paid a couple of hundred for it and it keeps time for a few years, probably an OK deal for a whatever the hell that movement is.
