The Breitling Watch Source Forums

This is from a different batch from the regular Evo fake. The cardinal ticks are correct. Thankfully, there are several telltales:

- A common known fake serial number, 805556
- 11th min mark missing on top subdial
- Subdial markings too thick and font wrong, especially the 3 digit
- Bezel pearl wrong
- Notched pattern on batons

It will be difficult to remove this due to the sellers high rating. I've emailed the seller but haven't had a reply yet.

Good pick up

messaged seller

I eventually got a response. Despite sending them a link to a replica watch site with exactly the same same fake, including the same serial number, he won't do anything untill the owners of the business return this week.

HI ALL,

My wife and I were out of town for ten days doing a CAD class and were apprised of this situation just a couple of days ago.. on the weekend. We always do the right thing when mistakes like this occur. But our staff has been apprised to NOT take things down from ebay because someone on the net said a watch was fake. you have no idea how many "experts" out there call things fakes that are not fakes.

This one is indeed fake and we took it down immediatly upon confirmantion. Thanks for the heads up!

In this case it was a "perfect" storm. First, it is a GREAT fake. Second, my wife and I were out of town. Third, one of our watchakers, the one who is BRETILING trained, was not working the day it was posted and the poster, since we were out of town showed it to another "Seasoned" (this guy does not do our breitling work but he does our patek and Rolex work and is Rolex trained and Audemar trained) watchmakers who was COMPLETLY FOOLED! And he opened it!

I am not faulting him. I showed him the obvious signs of fakery.

I am adding pics of the watch for those of you who have not seen macro pics. (not GREAT pics... but..)

We sell thousands of Rolexes and PAteks and Breitlings per year and we have 36 employees. We police this kind of thing and give classes to our staff also. This one , again was a "perfect storm" and got through the cracks.

Cheers!

P.S. As to the fella who is having a fit that a part time email answerer, working on a weekend, did not take the watch down THAT SECOND on THAT day on THAT weekend, I can only say... Relax. It was done in due course.

PPS (love this site!)

HAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE POSTING PICS ON THIS SITE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. AGAIN, THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP

welcome, watchdude - and thank you for taking down that fake; would have been very surprised if you had not.

must admit that without Adrian's eagle eyes I would have missed it too.

here's the howto regarding larger pics, would love to see them: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=453
