Complete fabrication. Done to look like the late 60's diver watches but the wrong case, wrong bezel, and a 2915 is just a regular non-chrono mans watch circa 1950's. I also think the back cover has been engraved with the 2915 because the real ones don't look anything like that. The dive watches didn't use the normal serial number combinations we're used to seeing.

Not convinced that one is real either. The only Breitling early divers I've actually had in my hands that I know are real are here on page 23.

And they certainly aren't 39mm across.

:yeahthat

I know that there are some less well documented military watches, but I am always suspicious when an undocumented model shows up claiming to be 'military' - suggests to me that the seller knows that it's a little iffy.

A ref 2212 is usually a Breitling Sprint like this one. Don't see a serial number either.

No wonder that reference number sounded so familiar...
