Fake. Someone took a nice vintage piece and added the "Breitling" to the dial. Don't think I've ever seen a fixed lug genuine Breitling (that I can remember).

Hi Guys,
I got in touch with seller. Below is his response.. pretty polite considering I told him his watch was a fake...

Hi Mate,
Thanks again for your e-mail I have added 3 pictures of the dial. Please ask your experts to have a relook, as a favour to me, keeping in mind that the case may be a replacement. I have an excellent feedback score as you can see and only want to offer genuine items. If your experts think that it is 100% fake I will remove the item from ebay. If it is partially genuine I will mention that on the description.
Thanks Again.
Jesu

Your thoughts?
Greg
