The Breitling Watch Source Forums

hi i have a breitling that was given to me by my uncle. there was a fight one day while watching a football game and the strap on my watch popped and i lost the front part here are pictures and about how much does that part go for.
im missing the part that covers the part where the band connects to the face

Your watch is a fake I'm afraid, so getting parts for it will be impossible. Sorry.

are you serious?? how can you tell?? wow good thing i did not take it in.

There's a number of things wrong with it unfortunately. The crown is a copy of the crown from the Aeromarine range, not the Windrider range that the genuine Frecce Tricolori Chronomat is part of. The pushpieces are too big and the screw-in collars are wrong. The bezel looks too thick, and the minute markers are not engraved very crisply in the bezel. The bracelet is a copy of the Speed bracelet which is only available on the Bentley models. And while I can't see too well in the pictures, the date font looks wrong too. Also just the overall visual "feel" of it is wrong - something that just comes with experience.

Here's a link to an old ebay auction that was selling a genuine one and you'll see the differences -
