Seller St.Ives79, who has a 100% 1396 Feedback, is selling this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... Track=true

However, the strap is definitely a fake (Ref 757P should refer to a 24mm Brown Croco, not a Black 22mm 'mock croc', which Breitling have never produced).

Old threads suggest that 757P is used by fakers for all sorts of size/colour/material combinations - see here: http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/v ... =12&t=3052

Much more difficult to tell if the clasp is dodgy (it's the old style embossed logo, which was copied faithfully by our Asian brethren...), but I suspect it's a fake too.

I've dropped a polite note to the seller, suggesting he remove it - let's hope he listens...

Anyway, it's been reported :guns:

Reported - "Strap is fake - croc straps should say croco on the back, not cuir. Reference # is wrong for black."

Reported also. The seller almost admits it being fake....even though this is in plain violation of the rules :guns:

AS MENTIONED THIS IS VERY LIGHTLY USED BUT I PREFERE THE BRACELET AND SO HAVE RE-FITTED THAT TO MY WATCH - IT IS A HIGHLY POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL DEPLOYMENT CLASP AND A LEATHER STRAP MADE TO LOOK LIKE CROCODILE SKIN ( MOCK CROC ) IT HAS LITERALLY BE WORN ON MY WATCH FOR 2 DAYS AND AS SUCH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

does the goon think that the strap is actually leather????! roflmao
