Does anyone do it? I do but i have to admit to getting a bit fed up doing it as the ones I report seem to remain listed and sell! It may be a small thing to do to cut down on the number of fakes circulating but every little helps.

no way, Jose.

only the most blatant vintage fakes, where sellers are dumb enough to slap a 1984 logo on a 1960s watch get removed.
not worth the effort, at least a dozen a day are sold on ebay.

Very, very active section of the forum for reporting contemporary fakes, but it really is wasted effort on vintages. Not helped of course by the fact that Breitling themselves continue to happily tell owners that their vintage fakes / frankens are genuine :roll:

Shame on Breitling concerning vintage fakes.Hearing that makes me loose my faith in the brand.
