Which Breitling is this?

[arbitrage]

Friend of mine has the above watch. I rather like it, he does not (it was a gift from his ex). Would like to buy it from him, but I don't know what it's called or how much it might be worth. He has no idea either, but thinks that £20 is a bit on the low side.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

£20 is about spot-on. It's a really bad fake.

That was my thinking too, always had his ex down as cheap. But it seems well made, how can you tell if it is a fake? I don't know anything about Breitling's to know what to look for.

Evening Simon,

Compared to the genuine article the build quality will be noticeably poorer. We know it's a fake, as Breitling only offer the Tourbillion complication on the 'Breitling for Bentley' models. This fake is based on a Chronomat Evolution.

Yes, and the tabs on the bezel are completely wrong. As are the numerals. And that's probably not a Tourbillon!

By "well made" you really mean "heavy", which it would be with the amount of metal used in a cheap mechanical.

That's about £19.99 too much

Have to say a big thanks guys. We have been ribbing him all night about his fake watch and this mornings breakfast was topped of with 39. Priceless.

So funny.

I now have the watch, but I don't want it. Know a 15 year old who might like it.

I wouldn't mind having it if your son doesn't want it - would like to see how "bad" a "proper" fake is (as opposed to a "homage").

It's gone to the neighbours son. Now I don't have to mow the lawns months.

Ah, no probs. I think you've got a good deal out of that!
