    Ballin bausch I noticed that too. Did you notice that the font on the date wheel is inaccurate as well? You can also see texture on the bezel insert. Almost like it is painted instead of ceramic. Another thing you can check on the clasp is whether or not the Breitling logo is visible from the back side. If it is, then you have a fake. Dials and cases are easy to clone, but stamping stainless steel is a little trickier and the factories in China don't assume many people care about the details on the bracelets or clasps. In fact, if you get a fake watch and invest in a genuine bracelet, then it is more likely that you'll fool people since those are the ways that I can typically spot a fake right off the bat.

    from someone who had bought and sold both originals and replicas for years ..... the last 30 seconds of the video make the most sense , sadly the watch you are comparing the original against is a grade 3 watch, I'm not trying to degrade your attempt just you need to know a lot about watches, the watch you reviewed has a generic 3 dollar Chinese automatic movement , that's why the date font window is incorrect . these are usually sold in Chinese flee markets for 15 USD . the better replicas have real automatic swiss valjoux movements ( 7750/ 7753, etc ) and are true identical unless you are an expert in breitling . firstly if you want to check its real.... go to a master watchsmith , then check the serial number and dealer which sold it ( if its Dubai or hong kong dealers beware too , it might be a fake dealership !)

    The first tell(s) for me that the black one was fake are the "Superocean" screen printing is way too thick on the replica, and the date window is very sunken where the real Breitling has a very fine fitting date window. Source: Almost bought a fake Navitimer until closer inspection of the sunken date window gave it away and was confirmed as a fake by a professional.

There are fakes everywhere and it's the quickest and easiest way to spot a fake, and I saw it straight away in the video. I can say my thoughts on that. You seem to think there is no opportunity to watch your own video to check before you post it. The video maker could have checked.

    I’m surprised you didn’t even mention the infix markings and how on the black watch the markings are off. This is a clear tell. The black is indeed a fake but it’s a bad fake. There are MUCH better fakes out there where you won’t be able to tell unless you open up the watch.

    At one time you could tell by the weight.You went into any decent high end watch shop and he wouldnt even have to look at it to say its a fake.Have the fakers got this correct now?
