    Breitling chronomat fake or not?

    Hello, I am interested in this watch and wanted to ask maybe somebody can identify this watch, it's fake or not?
    Best regards,

    Thanks for opinion, but I would like to hear more opinions, because I want to be sure, that it is not fake. Some more photos:Name:  10.jpg

    Sorry to say, despite all of the attendant documentation the watch appears to be a fake...

    The one in question first , then the proof ...

    Also, please check the 3rd picture. It seems okay at that point but when looked at another angle, particularly in the last photo, the date text appears to be sunken. You can check it out when you see it face to face.

    COSC cert folded in 6 , not 4 is a sign paperwork is fake as well
    Don't believe me or anything I say just because I say it ... do your own research , ask questions and get answers , find out what you can , do background searches on the (vintage) watch you're interested in AND on the seller , only if you do all of that you will be able to determine the authenticity of the watch you're interested in

    Err, the fact the COSC certificate has no serial number printed on it is more of a giveaway than how its folded!

    As indicated by the wrong instruction booklet, it is obviously from the well known Crosswind Special fake box/paperwork kit that is sold by sites that sell replica watches. The watch is a reasonable copy but the date looks sunken in the window.
