Was scrolling through eBay and saw this. I noticed and blue crown and was confused. Messaged him questioning it and he claims the watch is 100% authentic. Am I missing something? I've never seen a blue crown like that. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2883013522 Thanks Everyone Dan Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk |

think the "blue" crown is just reflection from something in the environment the picture was taken in... |

Be very cautious. I don't think this is a reflection. I have seen several Chinese fakes that have this coating on the crowns and pushers on chronographs. I don't think Breitling do this too. |

hard to tell, but NEVER buy these without verified paperwork, ideally from a trusted source - fakes are very, very close. |

I think it’s just the protection sticker that comes right off. Owning a jewelry store I do see a lot of watches come in with that blue protection sticker on them, but like watchfred said be cautious |

That is one watch where it is extremely hard to spot the fakes.... I wouldn't touch that model unless I trusted the source and it had all the matching docs. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk |

I've seen older NOS models with a blue waxy sort of protection on the caseback and sometimes on the crown/pushers, but on a new model it's not something I've seen. As Fred says, that particular model is very well faked, so exercise extreme caution. |

If you look at the bezel you can definitely tell it's a fake. Stay away. |
