    need a learned opinion

    I was sent an email from a friend about an upcoming sheriff's auction, and they are selling items that have been seized. My friend sent me the following pictures, but no other details. The place they have them is about 1 1/2 hours away, so I thought I'd ask here before I make a trip to go look at them. Thanks in advance.

    Re: need a learned opinion

    Thank you for the quick response. They have a few more that I haven't received the pictures for yet. Can you tell me what to look for to determine if they are fake? Or is it that these don't match with known models? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I'm very new to Breitling watches. Thanks in advance.

    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

    I have seen those 2 watches on the first photo still being sold around Asian cities I've visited. Even if there were actual models like them, their craftsmanship alone is sub par when seen in person.

    Garbage, the lot of them. Given that, what do you think the chances of the next ones that you haven't the photographs of being real?

    I've never seen the 'B' logo applied directly on the wheel. That's the most awkward design ever. like ever.
