Hi there, got excited when i paid a few quid for this watch at a flea market recently,
can anybody tell me if its real or fake please. I tried looking on web, but couldnt find
this model, the number on the back is A68082 No 0087, tried to upload photo, but it
is saying "file to big" it has a blue face, and the unusual thing about watch is that it
has 2 rectangle shaped buttons on the left side, and 1 button on the right side, below
the ajusting wheel, and the back is modeled on the fan of an aeroplane, hope this is enough
info to know if its real or replica.
many thanks in anticipation of response.

Pics are gonna be the best way to identify it. In the gallery section there's a post on uploading larger files. Give that a shot and I'm sure you'll get an answer. Or you could re-size the picture and make it a bit smaller. Good luck.

Can't remember seeing a Pluton fake before. The case back is unique to the B-1/Airwolf model but is found on many cheap fakes.

Hi there
I`m not entirely giving up on this watch I required
recently, I have looked at lots of tips on how to
detect fakes, and this one passed a few of them.
the embossed gold wings logo, not painted, the quality of the
back case looked nothing like the fake one i saw, It does appear
to be a few years old.
many thanks for your replies, I will keep on investigating.
Paul

A68062 is the model number for an early B1 which this is not. The guys are correct, it's a fake.

You'll be wasting your time. As has been said by all, it's fake.
