Real or Fake - Breitling

[Rollex]

This is a pretty Dumb question and the picture probably sucks to bad to find out. I photographed this guys wrist from about 60 feet away..

Just wondering your impressions Real or Fake.

I'm thinking it's too far away to tell whether it's a rep or gen, but taking pictures of other guy's watches from 60 feet away, takes the word "fetish" to a whole new level. :wink:

and the word "creepy"..

great shot Dukie! hahahaha :lol: :lol: :lol:

hmm.....can't really tell for sure since i'm not a Breitling guy.....yet.... :?

but by looking at the font size on bezel.....it seems like a gen.....

but then again.....i surely might be WRONG! :lol: :twisted:

@pualm and ken1, this is a cropped shot of the guys wrist and is only about 1/20th of the full fram I wasn't taking pictures of his watch, he step in the shot along with 20 other people. this was at a private
AH-64A/D Apache Attack Helicopter showing. I noticed it after and was curious.

noobz

I will post photo's of the event tomorrow.

LOL you should have said so, in your original post it made it look like you saw the guy's wrist and just snapped a picture

 

[Rollex]

yea I went back and re-read it and I apologize for the miss information.

 

[Rollex]

but to be honest I did spy on the pilots watch. :wink: it was a seiko.

Hard to say from the that pic, just a hair closer and it would have been easier.

Not sure if it's the way the light is hitting the bezel, but look to the right and left of the "45" rider tab.

Now again it could just be the picture, but the bezel screws on either side the 45 tab seem to be missing. The second further screw on each side is visible but not the 2 closest on each side of the 45 tab.

This doesn't necessarily mean it's a rep, just looks like he's missing some screws. The gen set of 12 screws is about $45.

I think its a gen.

Check the SELs, they have the heavier grooves following on from the centre links. Something the reps dont have......unless he modded it and polished it back up again?

Bezel stamping and AR coat is heavier than the rep.

So err......what was his female companion wearing???

 

[Rollex]

oh you guys are good sorry for the crap pic.

I'll see if that watch is in any other pic.

just wanted to see how good some of you are in identifying breitlings rep/gens

 

[MET-Rx]

Here's the bezels to compare the depth of the markers. Not sure about the one in the pic, shadows? Most likely gen.





As far as the female next to him, she's wearing burgundy lipstick and a smile. She could be faking so not sure that 's gen either.

First, I'd like to say cree-ee-eepy, and then I'll follow it with my opinion that it's a gen, looking at the pearl.

ps. I can see myself being this creepy if I had an EOS400 ...

The Chrono Evo rocks.
