Maybe some of you guys can convince him? I told him to post it hear but he thought it was too much trouble!

Dear chronodeco,

So someone went through a lot of trouble to make this thing fake. I'm trying to contact the owner. Any reference sites you can send me? I don't have time to learn a forum, etc. that takes a lot of time. Or maybe links to forum posts?

It WAS correct before someone removed the old original name and printed Breitling on it.

Dear jackthejeweler818,

Yes we CAN be 100% positive. The movement bridge has a fake signature. The numbers on the back do not match any Breitling reference or serial numbers for that era. These chronograph started life as a Chronographe Suisse. As I said before - Google Breitlingsource, find vintage Breitling forum and post it for confirmation. All the experts are there.
I have been restoring vintage Breitling for 14 years now - Google chronodeco. Looks like it came from S America - the land of fakes! Good luck.

your evaluation is, of course, correct.

typical fake "Breitling" based on an 18k Chronographe Suisse, low cost "Tourist Chrono" with paperthin caseback, metal cover, hollow lugs.
Serial no., model reference and movement engraving are incorrect, this Landeron caliber was never used by Breitling.

rather worthless now, used to be a nice watch.

Yeah that one's a real piece of work. Probably would be worth more if left original. Well, maybe not. :?
