How would I report it? I've been looking at lots of photos of real vs replica newer models and trying to learn a feature or two so that I can start spotting these on eBay, but on the vintage ones there is not much out there.

This one just looked very........cheaply made. It just LOOKED like something Breitling would not make. The watch has bidders on it, what would I want to report on this?

Also, I noticed the seller is from Argentina - it seems like Argentina is equivalent to the China of newer models.

no way to report so ebay will act, only the most blatant fakes - like a mid 1980s logo
on a watch that claims to be an original Breitling from the 1940s - are removed, even
these take a lot of reporting.

the only thing that does make sense is describing what makes a watch fake and listing
the seller name, hoping google or bing might help future buyers.

Got it - I was wondering why you didn't report it, but now I know. Thanks
