The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all im a first time poster up here so be gentle on me. I got this watch from an ex SAS army guy about 10years ago and its been sitting in my draw ever since but I am not sure if this is a fake watch or not. I tried looking online for pics and even taken it down to Jewlers but even they can't verify if its genuine or not and seems the only way is to send it to B itself if its real i'll get it back and if its fake, i'll never see it again.

Can anyone tell me what model and if its real or fake?

Sorry, cheap fake. I doubt it was intended but it bears a passing resemblance to the Intruder of the late 90s.

However, I would assume the faker has just put the Breitling name on a standard quartz watch like this Casio without reference to a gen.

Thanks for that

I also have another one but would like to know what this is or if its fake. It was covered in Dirt/clay but amazily after few shakes the sec hand starts ticking away but the hour hand doesn't move. I wonder how much will cost me to get it fixed

hard to understand that a watchmaker was not able to tell that those watches are fakes.

The second one is a very cheap fake too. I guess it would be cheaper to buy a new one and to discard that one.

Both look like 1990s fakes which, apart from the Submariner, were never that close to the gens.

so i guess i have no Breitlings then

Just a question what gave the 2nd one away? It looks preddy smit

No idea what that means, but it looks nothing like a real model and the movement is horrible - no finishing and horribly rough.

just look at the letter B above the anchor on the second hand. no defintion to it at all. one of the first things i look for.

the 2nd watch was found in my backyard it must of been years before we dug it up and it was sitting in clayish material for a very long period. Too bad its not the real deal. I always had a theory it belonged to the builders who took their watch off when building the house or yard work

Aah see now that's another reason to know it's fake.

Anyone who has been here for any length of time knows that any watch that is found is always a fake - the rule always holds true. The fakes seem a lot easier to lose than the real ones.

well thanks for that guys. Its one thing to have it reviewed by Breitling fanatics and another by a authorised qualified Brietling jewlers. I'll bring it to the shop to let them get it going again. I'll let you guys know how it went.

thanks again

Are there any Breitlings with pushers on both sides of the case?

I couldn't find a Breitling dealer so I took it to one of those quarts watch repair shops instead but i looked for the grandest one. He pulled it apart and I sat around waiting. He said its not real.
