    I have been asked to sell this watch and I have no idea about it.

    I have been reading various advice and I know you would like the serial number which I presume is inside. I can get this but it will be a few days. I can supply a photo of the back and any other bit you want to look at.
    I appreciate any help and I also have a Breitling if there is anyone here who can help with that.

    The more photos the better, that's not one I've seen but some guys here might have. We do have some Breitling nerds too if you want to post that, Dennis rocks his mother of pearl chrono when he's wearing his leopard print smoking jacket and carrying his diamond encrusted walking stick

    Right. I'm suspicious of the authenticity too. We need pictures of that watch, inside and out.

    OK now I am worried. Here is the back and I will see about the inside today. Is it easy to take the back off myself or should it be a professional?

    and can someone tell me what the symbol is on the end of the band please? It can just be seen at the bottom of this shot.

    Try pressing down hard and giving it a good twist. It'll probably come off easily, since I wouldn't be surprised if that thing doesn't even have any seals. The back looks even less promising than the front. Unfortunately for your friend, it's probably a $5 quartz with "Omega" printed on the dial.

    Hmmm Ok
    Do I post about the Breitling here or start a new thread. It came from the same source so very concerned about that now.

    The face is not as blue as is showing. And I am prepared to be told it is a fake.

    Yeah...sorry but it doesn't look legit either. Just curious, where did you source them from?

    My son's elderly neighbour gave them to him for good deeds done.

    Here is the back of the fake omega. Just to let you know I am not as stupod as I appear, I could tell it was fake once it was pointed out. But the Breitling is much better quality so far.
