well, as the seller claims, this is "extremely hard to find". We are quite close to fair value now already at around €350, somebody will get burnt badly with this one.

Seller knows it's wrong I'm sure - hence the distant movement shot.

As P.T. Barnum would say, "there's a sucker born everyday." Can't someone get that removed before the buyer gets hosed? Here's the proper movement. I emailed seller with this link.

no way to get this removed, I´m afraid .....

it is not a fake, and even then ebay only pulls those extremely pathetic pieces with the post 1984 logo on a vintage watch, all others are fair game for ebay.

would be quite surprised if the seller pulls it, now stands at 4,600+

buyer might just google the Breitling 2005 and stumble upon this thread, but other than that he´ll be the proud owner of a rather worthless piece.
