I didnt agree with that paragraph either . maybe its true (still) for the 'lower tier' manufacturers
but in the Breitling world there are almost as many fakes/franken as there are genuine ones
And even well respected dealers / traders are frequently at a loss and sell them as genuine
(not to mention the sleaze balls that know they are selling incorrect pieces)

as always 'Be careful out there , its a bl@@dy minefield'

: Counterfeits are a “one-brand” problem. Outside of Rolex,
: fakes seem to be rare in the vintage chronograph world. Sure,
: “Frankens” exist and pieces come up that are just plain
: wrong, but I just don’t see a cottage industry sprouting up to
: create fake Wyler chronograph dials. Maybe I’m underestimating
: 3D printing technology or something, but I just think the
: offerings are too varied to create a good market for fakes.
