I need help figuring out what watch this is?


Recommended Posts

What you have is a counterfeit watch, made to look like a Colt Chrono Automatic A13335. Model-independent telltales are the poor engraving on the case back, premature plating wear, and many others. It has also been fitted with a wrong size strap. You can confirm by opening it to reveal an Asian movement, or posting on a specialized forum, like watchuseek.com, Breitling section.

Based on the pics I would how said its legit.  If the stopwatch works it probably is legit as the Asian clones usually  have pusher operated sundials which shows stuff like do of the week,  24hrs etc. 

The case shows typical gold discoloration due to it being unsed.  A wipe with rough cloth should remove it.  The case back is deep but is not 'sharp',  fair enough as it has been used.  China clones usually have laser etched backs which are much shallower. 

Get it checked by a watchmaker and let us know.

How can be genuine when Breitling never did a quartz chronograph with that sundial arrangements or pushers style? Only mechanical chronological have that arrangement, but the faker had the decency of not placing 'automatic' on the dial.

That even without going into the general finish (you can zoom the hi res picture) which can be good for a $40 watch, not for a brand one.
