3 quickest ways to spot fake Breitling
1. Date Wheel
Fake:
The date wheel on the fake Breitling Navitimer is sunken, creating the appearance of a hole in the dial.
This results in a thicker overall appearance of the dial, particularly when moving the sub-dial from 12 to 3 o’clock.
This flaw arises from the replica mechanism not fitting the Navitimer case as perfectly as the genuine one.
Authentic:
The genuine Breitling Navitimer has the date wheel patch positioned closer to the dial window, avoiding a sunken or “pothole” appearance.
2. Sub-Dials
Fake:
Sub-dials on replica Breitling Navitimer watches push up to the margin indices, a flaw not found in genuine watches.
This means that replica watches often have misplaced sub-dials that touch the margin indices.
Authentic:
Genuine Breitling Navitimer watches have evenly placed sub-dials that do not merge with the margin indices.
3. Thickness
Fake:
The overall appearance of the fake watch is bulky and oversized.
Authentic:
The genuine watch has a thinner and smaller profile from top to bottom. For specific Breitling models, you can find official case thickness specifications online.
