·Date window horrible, every single font is wrong when compared to genuine versions of the A13330, slide rule bezel numbers are printed in the wrong location (especially the 40), caseback planes are too close to the center and they use "." instead of "-" for the plane names.... all signs pointing to fake. You should open the caseback to confirm, but it's not looking good for you.

·OK, so the problem is the real thing uses basically an ETA Valjoux 7750, which is a common chronograph movement, so it's a little harder to verify if the watch is legit from looking at the movement. The only obvious weird thing is the the movement spacer is supposed to have a plain brushed finishing. This one seems to have a perlage finish for some reason.

·It's fake. I just found a completely different watch with the same "451728" serial number as yours.
Hope you get your money back.

Upon searching, I also found an old Blogger post doing a "Breitling Navitimer Fighter Replica Review", which also has the same exact 451728 serial number on another different watch:

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Must be getting crabby in my old age but what do you expect us to do with this blurry set of pics? You just got burned. That’s not a unique experience around here. We’ve all been there hence the often used term “Noob Tax”. We are not an appraisal service. What do YOU think? Slow down and do some research before pulling the trigger. We are happy to respond to informed questions. The watches will be out there and you will learn to quickly spot issues.

·It's quite cute with all your requests for various watches, but maybe not in the same thread?
😉
It's getting quite messy...
I do understand that you're very keen on everything (I've been in your shoes myself....😲😬)!
But when it comes to the Speedy - you need to have much better quality on the pictures, and preferably a little more info?

·@Watchguy98 you’ve asked about Speedmasters, Navitimers, Planet Oceans and Seamasters. You’re probably better served deciding which model you’re actually looking for and concentrating on one rather than looking at such a wide range of models.
