Hello all, first time poster, with a bit of an unusual story.

Right now I'm attending University, living in campus dorms, and here we have a table for 'free stuff', that people have no use for anymore. Just this evening, I found on this table the strapless watch head in the images below, apparantly a 'Breitling for Bentley Tourbillon' watch, though it took some research to find out exactly what that implied.

Now, I realize that odds of this being real are slim, but there are in fact too-wealthy exchange students who live in dorm. It's missing a strap, and it looks like whoever owned it previously unsucessfully attempted to open the back. Further, while I can hear some sort of 'pulse' of a mechanism inside, the hands of the watch don't move - well, actually, I just picked up the watch to look at it, and it seems they are moving, now. Not sure what that means.

Regardless, I've attached some large pictures of both the front and back of the watch, in the hope that someone here can assure me of the validity or lack thereof of this watch! Even if fake, it's nice, but I believe it needs some small amount of repair.

Caution - the full images are quite large - and please feel free to ask me for further details on any detail that may aid identification.

It's fake, and a very bad one at that.

Much appreciated to have confirmation of my suspicions! Hah, though I'll admit to being a little dissapointed - now I know about Breitling watches, I /want/ one. :D
