How do you protect against fakes on the second-hand market? I mean, if I were to buy one used, what will the jeweler look for? Will he be able to tell by opening the back of the movement?
I´d rather have a real Casio than a fake anything on my wrist. What´s the point? Most of my colleagues have Breitlings, I have the Aerospace myself and trust me, it´s worth every damn penny. Anyone I know who owns a quality watch will agree that the precision and craftmanship is worth the financial stretch.
To everyone who like to have a Breitling one day...like me I rare had a chance to even see a replica not talking about owning one. So the time came and I bought a real genuine Breitling . People? What a wonderfull and cool thing owning an OEM Breitling! It shines you can say sparkles or blinks and you recognize it from miles that this Breitling is real. Looked at the B01 today at the jeweler with leatherband they run just 4.5k euros...save and you get there dont burn money on reps!
@Alohalakay Are you deaf and partially blind? This video is entitled "replica" and the commentator is repeatedly praising the quality of this replica (fake).
@BoyBangla I didn't even read it,I just saw the watch and wrote too fast sorry,by the way I have a collector idem from the 50ths in gold/steel and blue
So if this replica is so god damn good, and nearly identical to the real thing, why should someone shell out thousands of dollars more to buy the real thing..?
@XavierJ61 Because the movement is far superior, manufacturing and quality control are clearly superior (even if Breitling replicas have looked much better in the last year), long-term reliability and fit and finish are far better, you don't have to worry about maintenance in the future, you're supporting the company which has actually spent time, money and resources innovating and designing the product, you don't have to worry about someone picking it as a fake, it's actually waterproof..
If you put this on and people watching not likely very close into it because its on your arm right? Then they might probably think its real.
But how about fake certificate? What can you tell us about them? Im really looking into buying second hands but very worried for fake ones! As seen on this video! Can certificate be faked? (probably yes) unless like ulysse nardin? Where you can call them and check if its real or not right?
@freethaitv This is a late answer and you´ve probably already got your watch, if so, congrats. If not, then my advice is simply this. If you intend to buy a second hand watch make absolutely sure you have it checked out by an authorized dealer before payment is made if possible. Pay little or no attention to certificates or receits The watch is what matters in the end.
Hi, have to say one thing that i've noticed you always miss... the luminesence on the bezel, on the fakes they never have a separate 'O' ring of metal framing the dot of luminesence. Check it out and compare to orig.
Tag Aquagraph, Breitling Avenger Seawolf Titanium... wouldn't mind a fake for daily wear too
I am looking at a breitling, I have looked at literally hundreds, but one of them the date portion was reverse black and white, meaning the font was white, background was black, scared me off instantly, was I paranoid or caught something there?
One of the easiest ways to spot most Evolution fakes is that on most of them the subdials are crowded toward the center of the watch, and the spacing between them is off. This is especially obvious on the models with the arabic numerals, where the cutoffs on the numbers from the subdials at the 10 and 11 are nowhere near what is shown on the real thing. It is a little harder to spot with the batons, though.
There is a lot to be said of people who buy fakes, A watch is a statement of ones personality, as far as I'm concerned anyone who buys a fake watch and tries to pass it of to his peers as genuine are fake people. I would never buy a fake simply because I would know it's a fake. The satisfaction of owning a genuine watch more than covers the cost of the item, and I would never show my watch off or comment on it unless directly asked. There is also something undignified about people who do that
As a Breitling enthusiast, the visual accuracy of these fakes is scary. The most telling thing is that the B on the side of the bezel is so crudely stamped. It is delicately etched on the real thing.
I love the video I have one question about that fake, was there a point at the bottom of the anchor on the second hand? I found that to be a good indicator on alot of fakes I've seen.
Breitlingsdource, how/where are Breitling fakes manufactured? If counterfeiters can make such accurate copies of watches with very complicated an intricate dials,cases and bracelets, they must have access to quality manufacturing plants. You can make 'em in your garden.
Maybe you can help me with this breitlingsource, because I may be wrong here. But isn't a tell-tell giveaway(at least as far as Breitling is concerned) is that all authentic Breitlings sapphire crystal are not only anti-reflective on both sides, but are all non-domed(flat).
not at all, a fake is nothing more than just that. I own reps and gens both for comparative reasons only. I don't condone or support counterfeiting. some folks asked about where to get info on reps and the sites mentioned will help those who don't want to get burned. If someone want to spend their money on a rep they will. It will always be no more than a poser watch, but with the right seller at least they will get what they buy, a look-alike Chinese copy.
I have one similar, the Chronomat B01 and it has the obvious tell-tale wrong date wheel font. These are made in factories in china and some are quite good quality. It all depends on who assembles it. If the person building it is pissed off or having a bad day, that piece will likely be junk. However over the last few years the reps have gotten much better. The guys selling them want you to buy more and some go out of their way to make sure you are happy. Check with RWI or RWG these guys are good
I just recently bought a rep BCE graphite v3 with updated datewheel. I have seen many people asking where 2 purchace these products. The answer is not on holidays as they are the cheap ones which break in a couple of secounds. To buy the ones which AD's cant tell if it is fake, join RWI forums ( Replica Watch Info). They helped me pick the correct model with all the updates. The forum has many dealers who can sell you these watches. The watch above you are looking at 250D. Come and ask some Q's
Another thing I'd mention is the serial numbers. Many times they all have the same serial number. I mistakenly purchased a fake (i'll never buy after market again) and the serial for my Chrono Evolution was 2073888. Apparently that number is used very often.
i hv the limited edition of it that looks much better has a brown face sounds ugly but awsome.. if u buy this type of thing u hv look after it else buy cheap 1 learn it thn buy this is my advice but gr8 watch
He doesn't want to admit it but he accidentally switched the watches around and reviewed the real Breitling thinking it was the replica. He's just sitting back and hope no one is enough of an expert to notice.
Amazing how close they get to the real thing, I wonder how many people there are out there who have a fake and don't even know it. You have to be a pro to notice the fake.
@breitlingsource. Copperhead is just mad that his fake dosen't look as good as the one you kindly showed us. Thanks for the vid. I'm about to pick up my first Breitling (will be a chronomat evo in fact)and this vid will help me not get taken(if I decide to go grey market). I may just save up the extra few hundred it would take to go to an authorized dealer anyway...
The part about stamping not being able to show though to the other side is false. i am looking at my REAL band and there is a stamp mark. The watch was bought at a breitling dealer so i belive you are off on this, other than that good job !
Thanks! I don't remember how I worded it but with real Breitlings the stamping is often seen through the other side, but it is not as obvious as with the fake. The fake has stamping that is extremely visible.. and when compared with a real Ling you can see the difference.
The "B" eched in the side of the bezel , is that only on the replica chronamat evoloution, or does the real watch have that same "B" there too ????????? need help !

Both. It has nothing to do with the brand, but the movement. Usually (but not always) Quartz watches do not sweep, mechanical watches sweep.
