Im young and havent spent much time in any watch community. When you see these older 'vintage' breitlings on ebay, what do you think about them? is it breitling movement? Are they fakes? They are supposedly from the 1950's and are the self winding kind.. Here is an example below...

Rule #1 of vintage Breitlings - never, ever, ever buy from South America.

Rule #2 of vinatge Breitlings - if there are script and print versions of the name on the same watch it's fake.

This watch fails both rules.
