Series of articles on Identifying fake Breitlings
Posted by The Breitling Source under Breitling , Watch Tips & Tricks[4] Comments
I’ve been slowly adding to the series of articles on my website on how to make sure you identify those fakes Breitlings out there. There are plenty of folks out there just ready to take your hard-earned cash and replace it with a cheap replica. Be armed with the information you need to make informed choices.
Currently there are three written articles:
General Rules on Spotting Replicas
Spotting a Replica Dial
Spotting a Replica Caseback
And one more video article examining a Fake SuperOcean steelfish which has already been posted here. There will be an article on a fake Chrono Avenger up soon which should be very useful for people.
Also on that page is a series of other articles that can be handy for identifying things about your watch such as date of birth and tutorials on how to properly size your watch for maxium comfort. Keep checking back as this page is also getting new information added to it.

How do you spot a fake b13048 Breitling chronomat?

b13048’s weren’t faked very well. Compare it to a real one and you’ll be able to tell it right away.

You seem to have a lot of info on Breitling watches. I own 3 (2 I have bought and 1 that was willed to me). I have box and papers for 2 of them but the one that was willed has no box or papers. It is a real Breitling I am just interested in whether Breitling will issue a certificate of authenticity for insurance purposes. Would you have any idea?
Thanks

They will issue you a certificate for any purpose, not just insurance purposes. It will cost you money. Breitling UK charges around $90US equivalent, not sure about BUSA.
