Breitling Watch

[Carolina Tom]

I was out on the bad side of town the other day, hunting an old abandoned house. I could see some MD holes that had been dug by a prior hunter. A little clad and the usual trash showed up... then I got a really strange sounding hit in the tall grass. I moved the grass with my foot, and saw something silver on the ground... it looked like a bracelet... but turned out to be this Breitling watch. At first glance, it looks really good and it's heavy. Upon further examination... I am sure that it is a fake...

The real deal retails for several thousand dollars! Missed it by this much...

One of the most faked time pieces out there. The real ones can be worth a fortune. A rich spoiled friend of mine got a $20,000 Breitling for his high school graduation. I would've taken the cash :-)

Not sure about that. My grandmother offered to buy me a Rolex Submariner for my HS graduation in 1985 when they sold for $1,500. I opted for cash instead and you can imagine how long the cash lasted me. I would probably still have the watch today if I'd taken it instead.

I'd bet your rich spoiled friend won't be hurting for cash anyway

Ha you know you couldn't be more right. When you're rich I guess money is a pretty stupid gift. I was thinking about my poor ass instead of his rich butt :-)

Oh yeah, it works. I did get really excited... I was looking all around to make sure no one saw me pick it up... it's really heavy, so I was not sure whether it was real or fake. Oh well...
GL&HH!

Congrats to you. That`s a beauty fake or not, Some fakes I have seen being sold are so true to original It takes a watch pro to tell.

You've convinced yourself it's a knock-off and as we discussed it very probably is. However, it would take less then 5 minutes to pop into a good jewelry shop and verify what you already think you know. OR, perhaps it is the real deal and you never have it checked out so you never know? I would have to visit Finks South Park and have a pro confirm it one way or the other. As an FYI, the knock-offs sell for about $100 so not too shabby. How did you find that place?

 

[Scrappy]

Nice find!!!! Here is one of mine that looks pretty close. It's a mid-90's version and cost about $1500-$2000. Can't remember but yours does look authentic. But what I do know that knockoffs are usually higher end models but you never know.

I'd at least take it to a Pawn Shop and have it checked out ... what have you got to lose?

It's still a nice find and I bet a jeweler could clean it up nicely for you!

I agree with Beepbeep, I bet it is still exciting, I'd for sure get it checked out by jeweler!
