The bezel didn't look right to me on this one. I thought that the degrees were in 10 increments, not 20.... The rear also looked a little hokey. I may be wrong though & perhaps this is just an older version?

Hi IC:
Adding to your comments on the watch, if you pay carefull attention to the digital digits size you will see this watch is real FAKE. See the REAL emergency at Breitling and see how the Digits size takes up to 95-8% the size of the rectangular display window and each Digit is much thick than on the fake watch.
hope this help.

Isn't there supposed to be a test button on the back?

FAKE. Not even close. Even the LCD display is reversed. B's always have a dark background display.

Hi IslandCop,
You have focussed my mind onto finishing my indepth guide to the Emergency variants - If you are serious about buying one then stay tuned - it should be up really soon.
I am going to post a work in progress, as Altro has done, I must be honest, I am trully scared by the people who try and sell fake Emergency models - they are playing with peoples lives and I really hate that thought.

Hello Rob,
This is good news. Thanks for all your hard work so far. Alan has been a bit of a 'lone pine' on the hill for far too long. I'm positive he will, and our members will appreciate your efforts. :-!
PS.. I noted in the text that the symbol 'mHz' was questioned as to why it had this particular form. Scientific notation convention is the short answer. Here is a link that will elaborate.
Why MHz.. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHz)
