another typical junk "vintage Breitling Chronograph" from Turkey.

tells:
undocumented (fake) model number
no serial number, though seller invents a "1945" WW2 production date
Landeron movement never used by Breitling w/ engraved logo
fake "DIAL IN MINT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE.ORIGINAL NOT REFINISHED OR RESTORED DIAL.ORIGINAL MILITARY KILLER BLACK DIAL(VERY IMPORTANT AND RARE DIAL"
no part of this watch ever came near a Breitling workshop


up to US$ 750 with 2 days to go, maybe listing it here will keep some potential buyers from wasting their money ?

This seller has another account on Ebay: NOKWATCH , and one that he doesn't use anymore (watchunt) because he got caught selling fake Breitlings.
With Nokwatch, he very often sales fake Breitlings, especially Moonphase ones.
He even sold a $5000 fake Rolex recently (read his feedbacks).
He probably has other accounts or will open some soon.
All vintage breitlings comming from turkey are generally fakes, especially when sold by 'professionals".

How about this watch that looks very similar to the one sold on e-bay? This store also has quite a few other "Breitling's" for sale if they are real or not, I do not know. I am not the expert that you guys are. I bought this one in the title of this post on e-bay but have since returned it to the seller for a full refund thanks to this site.

By the way, thank you to the members of this site, especially Fred, for saving me $800. I wonder how much other stuff that guy at J & P is selling is fake. This seems to be an epidemic. I hope his other stuff is real if someone really paid $42,000 for that one Bentley model!
