^ The chronos are throwing me off a bit. Normally they are set deeper into the dial and with beveled edges. Lume looks a bit suspect as well, but there are so many variations it is hard to tell.

How does the case back look?

Looks like it's taken a serious salt bath lol

There are a lot of variations. This is one of them, but I missed one other thing. Generally there is no visible "seam" between the dial and the inner bezel. One other thing that I can't really tell from the pictures is if the pin that holds the hands is a different color than the hands (ie. Silver hands, black center pin) it is an easy way to guarantee that it's a fake.

Pin and hands are same color, both silver. But from the sounds of your last post it's no bueno which isn't a surprise. Wish there was an easy way for me to take off the back at home.

Yes unforunately. Also, I couldn't see it until I brightened my screen but serial no. 1111 is always fake. Looks like it was decently well made though. Wear that ****!!

Meh, it appears to be 7777 but either way you're right. Will need to take it in for a battery and get a replacement band - also not a big fan of fakes so it may get re-donated/given to a friend. Thanks for the info though!

No problem man. Honestly, a lot of the Breitling fakes are pretty solid watches. A lot of them are made in Japan and are actually pretty decent pieces. Wish it had been real though for ya man
