This is a chines fake, sadly it looks pritty damn good.

It looks pretty convincing, except the date font.

some of the Chinese stuff is very scarey. This actually looks like one of the cheesier ones

o| what should the date font look like??? i have read others mentioning the font. what do we look for or how do we tell if it looks right. AND do all of the breitlings or familys such as the avenger family use the same fonts? thanks!!!:thanks

It is slightly changed through the years and on some models.
No specific rules to tell the font is right, you have to memorize certain real model of the font.
On that fake listed above, no '2' on the font is easiest to spot.

some of these chinese fakes look like the real thing but once you held one in your hands its easy to detect the cheaper metal used, much lighter and feels kinda tin like with the thinner metal.

There are fakes that don't deviate in weight.

No it's not too bad but surely not exceptional on the finishing, this quality of fakes is still spottable at distance...
And sure: once you hold this thing in your hands and turn the crown your disappointment will grow with the minute, this is certainly not the real thing, but yes... for most people it has the looks, not the quality.
