Re: Breitling double plane buckle the real vs the fake

: Hi Stephan
: what makes you believe 1 is a fake, and not just 2 different
: versions from different years ?

Hallo Rene!

let'check the backside from the buckle

left one - engraving very accurate on this original buckle

left one - bad engraving and faked in the same way, as we
find the Heuer buckles

the material from fake ones also have a different optical
and haptic impression (and the fake is a oversoft material)

original = frosted fake = glossy

at least: take the fake one between 2 fingers from both hands
and you can easily bend the buckle - no tool needed to change
a bracelet 😁😂

regards

Stephan
