How to spot a fake Breitling watch.(Side by side comparison)

I show you how to tell the differences between a genuine Breitling Super Ocean Heritage and a fake one.

[@spinbaba]

Thank you for publishing this video. Breitling is one of my favourite watches, and it's good to see apologists like you out there defending this fine manufacturer. Good job!!

[@justinregister795]

If he was asking $3,500 and took $50 bucks, I guarantee he knew it was fake. Very informative video though. Great job!

[@squigglyphrank9348]

I think he paid 50 to use it for the video

[@Vicky-nj1um]

Thank you for the video, very informative, in the process of purchasing a Breitling Ladies Colt 33 blue dial via an AD. Thanks again for the great video.

[@rborden3245]

Excellent information! Thanks for posting

[@polarroller4848]

the fluting edging the dial bezel is obvious between the two as well.

[@EauDePomdan]

You can tell already by looking at the dial glas.. Sapphire anti reflective vs cheapy reflective glas, you can clearly see the difference

[@haroldboyd4981]

Very good expose. I did notice on the Breitling inscription on the inside of the band of the "fake" is slightly "slanted". I don't think Breitling would have let that pass on a genuine bracelet. Thanks again!

[@jawaadbashir4344]

Dude your mic is amazing

[@Soundofthehoover]

There was no "swiss made" marking on the fake

[@ocdetails]

Ballin bausch I noticed that too. Did you notice that the font on the date wheel is inaccurate as well? You can also see texture on the bezel insert. Almost like it is painted instead of ceramic. Another thing you can check on the clasp is whether or not the Breitling logo is visible from the back side. If it is, then you have a fake. Dials and cases are easy to clone, but stamping stainless steel is a little trickier and the factories in China don't assume many people care about the details on the bracelets or clasps. In fact, if you get a fake watch and invest in a genuine bracelet, then it is more likely that you'll fool people since those are the ways that I can typically spot a fake right off the bat.

[@BrawndoQC]

Anthony Marc The italic B logo as well is not properly aligned vertically.

[@zerofox7347]

That was the first and only thing I saw too before he told us the rest.

[@PITBOY911]

Swiss Made is missing on the black, at the bottom of 6 o clock.

[@rudya4970]

also, the real thing has a high quality anti reflective coating on the glass. It gives it a blue / green hue against the light.

[@Virihaure]

Thanks for mention that, I find it a bit strange with that hue because it looks like oil on water.

[@MysteryBiker123]

How easy is the strap to alter? How does it work doesn't look like links ? I have a thin wrist. Thanks

[@AliKhan-ft1uu]

Very helpful video. Thanks

[@jalexa4]

Apart from the what you pointed out on the fake there are also other details the fake can be spotted like the "made in swiss" under the date/6 o'clock and the actual unidirectional bezel on the fake is completely different.

[@buzzufy]

Awesome info!

[@stasoline]

The rough and unpolished bezel shine on the replica gave it away for me...

[@jamesknox64]

Stasoline first thing I spotted. headlamps on my car have a smoother finish than that!

[@xjhkx]

Filmed using a potato.

[@lalleprutt868]

Potato Replica

[@harisdolic2874]

Jesus christ cant see shit

[@mr.e0311]

Potatoes always say that shit.

[@softmetals3702]

should the case back numbers match the numbers on the case between lugs?

[@cedricandries5312]

as some people have noticed it. on the real one it says swiss made on the 30 min marker and the real one looks more cleaned up

[@linanamur7670]

Ive heard that Rolex tried to shut down Swissarex, but its a testament to their quality that theyre still going strong.

[@devintherealtor4297]

the swiss made stamp wasnt on the replica under the 6 that was a quick sign too

[@ahmedassaad1]

Great video, thank you very much

[@whatisthisbs3819]

i saw that on the breitling website, it doesnt have the serialnumber on the band.

[@neveenjo5398]

would you please do a video on breitling areospace watch

[@miqueiasnicolas1248]

Swissarexs dedication to accuracy and detail sets them apart from the competition.

[@salseromayor8490]

Also, if you look closely at the real one, the bottom has Swiss Made, but again that can also be replicated, but as you mentioned its in the subtle nature. Great video!

[@MrMangoman48]

Is nothing to stop the replica to have a serial number on the band ?

[@TonderayiKanoz]

I thought the blue one is the Original because the crown look a bit more well done.

[@Brainfreeze401]

Great video

[@miledsalloum903]

Beautiful

[@Shayy86]

What does pat. Pens. Mean on the clasp?

[@vvvhhhhhbb]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but at 1:46, is it me or is there a missing "Swiss Made" at the 6 o'clock position?

[@harryvanderveen773]

Correct, that was one of the indicators for me

[@scottrunge4077]

If you watch the seconds hand as time goes on through the video the one on the left will catch up to the one on the right - so one of them is not exactly at 60 seconds. They start about 5/6 seconds different and end about 3/4 seconds different.

[@easy10.0]

Thanks for the really good Video ! I hate Fakes!!!

[@hellenic300]

I could tell straight away based on the non reflective coating on the genuine. You also missed the font on the engraving on the band is different on the fake one

[@ottogibbs1]

the most useful thing is the serial number on the band and the depth of the engraved letters. but they'll soon correct that

[@peterjeyakumar4331]

Inside of the fake you don't have "Swiss Made" that's important too

[@gigihentz5510]

not necessarily...some genuine models don't have "swiss made" inscription; yet they are original

[@frankrawl8705]

Great video man 👍I have learned a lot. Just one more thing? At 6 just under the date wheel on the real one it's says swiss made, and it doesn't say it on the fake!!! But great video and thanks 👍😊

[@gigihentz5510]

not necessarily...some genuine models don't have "swiss made" inscription

[@nobbyk8147]

One more thing, most good fake watches DO have the "Swiss Made" stamp now...

[@RocketRaven]

thanks dude :)

[@d4ndle]

AR coating is the easiest tell. Fake is very reflective.

[@habibiwaves]

You forgot to mention that the fake one doesn't say Swiss made.

[@llamawizard]

Thanks!

[@Spikernaut]

I brought my Club so I can get in on this dead horse action. The crystal and Swiss made dead giveaway. Plus your video was shaky. I think I helped beat the dead horse.

[@roclikewhat]

The 12 O'clock double hash line is thinner on the fake.

[@imjueleditor9995]

Swissarex watches are like a piece of art on your wrist. Ive never seen better craftsmanship.

[@milanfilipovic3836]

Can I send you a picture of a watch i found to see if it’s real?

[@br0ken217]

Theres some insider information suggesting that Swissarex has access to the Rolex database and uses the same codes on their watches as the original ones. Because of this, its nearly impossible to distinguish them as fakes.

[@ihategoogle5910]

Scary how close the fake is to the authentic watch. Without one to compare with the other, it would be difficult to tell which is which.

[@mariosiaven2965]

the first tell tale I noticed is no swiss made wording in the bottom dial of the fake.

[@darrencain1092]

nice one

[@aterodominatusprimovictori2991]

Its very easy to spot..first he dont have shine effects on black ring..

[@5RustyBin]

what I would be interested in is the difference between the bracelets. The superocean heritage I own has the best mesh bracelet I have ever owned. How does the replica bracelet match up. It might be worth buying a replica to toss the watch in the bin and keep the bracelet for desk diving on your real watch to keep the real bracelet nice !

[@harryvanderveen773]

The color on the black bezel looked too flat/dull and the reflection on the fake one of the glass looked off also.

[@SensationDiveVideos]

All that shit to see if it's fake and he doesn't mention the screen. You can see the difference instantly. The left is non reflective sapphire and the right is cheap and scratched

[@maxgtv3246]

I think what you are referring to is the "crystal". And yes, that was the first thing I noticed but I didn't mention it because I didn't think the camera would pick it up.

[@SensationDiveVideos]

+maxgtv When you pan across doing the close up, the right screen is full of marks full blown reflective glare from the light. :) not sure what you mean about crystal? My Breitling is sapphire glass and that's the quickest and easiest give away on the fakes. Sapphire doesn't scratch or reflect light

[@SensationDiveVideos]

+Real boxing Fan1 I did read that he wrote that he did not think the camera would pick it up. In my opinion he is wrong to miss the most obvious tell for a fake. I live in Asia. There are fakes everywhere and it's the quickest and easiest way to spot a fake, and I saw it straight away in the video. I can say my thoughts on that. You seem to think there is no opportunity to watch your own video to check before you post it. The video maker could have checked. I'm sure my 2 cents making a fair point was at least as valuable as your own shit starting 2 cents calling me an idiot :p

[@SensationDiveVideos]

+Real boxing Fan1 Big deal, someone made a video filming 2 watches on a table. Why such a fan boy? I make video's and have over 1300 subscribers and over 1,400,000 views on my channel. Regardless of what you think, making a videos for youtube is not exactly a big deal. If the creator of the video doesn't want comments he can disable them. I'm not wrong with what I wrote, and it's a public forum to express comments on the video. By commenting here other people will also know they can check the screen if they read what I wrote. Stop being so offended for no reason on someone else behalf.

[@bigvee401]

stfu

[@robertoreynaldo1005]

it is very easy to detect which is fake...the rotary vessel color was dull, the dial was noticeably low quality.

[@pemujaalam5516]

I read a comment from someone mentioning that when a replica factory has a waiting list, its a sign that their products are superior to the originals. In this case, Swissarex is that factory.

[@liveyourlife318]

GREAT VIDEO.... there's a couple on Craigslist that I like ....now I can buy with confidence and if it's a fake and his asking $4000 ...I can just give him $40 bucks....thanks brother..💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@squashbuckler]

You can also see the I and the T are too close on the right.

[@Y.Stan1]

ok...and real it left or right?

[@squashbuckler]

I picked the one on the left in the first 5 seconds based on the "B"...

[@joseluislopez3780]

Para hacer un video donde comparar la calidad y los detalles primero hay que tener una cámara de calidad y que esté a la altura.

[@julianberks4500]

As always, exceptions. That model may have serial numbers on the band but my aerospace doesn't. (And yes, it's a genuine one!)

[@TonyT007]

Let’s not forget the blue hue from the anti glare glass

[@timesup2215]

Is it okay to purchase one of these of Amazon that goes for $5000 USD?

[@iceydaywalker9198]

I'd advise *against* it. Even though Amazon is typically viewed as a reputable source for products, there is still great potential for deceit through the site (especially when it comes to high-end items like this watch). If you actually have the money to spare, just go to a retail store for one. Take care.

[@mattsullivan2117]

The first tell(s) for me that the black one was fake are the "Superocean" screen printing is way too thick on the replica, and the date window is very sunken where the real Breitling has a very fine fitting date window. Source: Almost bought a fake Navitimer until closer inspection of the sunken date window gave it away and was confirmed as a fake by a professional.

[@administration4852]

the guy dropped from 3,500 to 50 bucks because you told him the watch was a fake?? Methinks the guy knew and laid a large turd in his underwear thinking the police might be involved.............just say'in...........great video.

[@adonisnetworks]

from someone who had bought and sold both originals and replicas for years ..... the last 30 seconds of the video make the most sense , sadly the watch you are comparing the original against is a grade 3 watch, I'm not trying to degrade your attempt just you need to know a lot about watches, the watch you reviewed has a generic 3 dollar Chinese automatic movement , that's why the date font window is incorrect . these are usually sold in Chinese flee markets for 15 USD . the better replicas have real automatic swiss valjoux movements ( 7750/ 7753, etc ) and are true identical unless you are an expert in breitling . firstly if you want to check its real.... go to a master watchsmith , then check the serial number and dealer which sold it ( if its Dubai or hong kong dealers beware too , it might be a fake dealership !)

[@user-wo8wf4ur4g]

Swissarex watches are so convincing that I had to double-check my collection to spot the real ones.

[@mam362]

One says Swiss Made on the dial while the other does not

[@gracjanstangeland6517]

Hi. Where I can buy a good breitling replica? I am asking for a source.

[@nick_the_jeweler]

bezel gave it away right away. the original breitling has deep cuts around the edge of the bezel to grip onto where the fake is almost rounded out.

[@kanifuker721]

Soon as the video started you could spot the fake to the replica.

[@arturogrijalvaortega6583]

also the "blue" glare of the genuine makes the difference; the fake reflect the light, the original dont, and the genuine has a kind of blue glare...

[@JLMedialtd]

thanks for the video but the quality of the filming is shocking and makes it almost impossible to tell before you called which one. Gave me a headache trying to focus my eyes

[@scottw550]

Mine's fake but it only cost me 180 bucks, is 20 years old and still ticking.

[@JustinScully]

The real one says Swiss made on the face, the fake doesn't. Pretty easy to spot. I've had one for 6 years and still never saw a fake one in person.

[@allenjones9055]

Maybe u just didn't know 1 or 2 of em were fake. Just a thought

[@chris33661]

I've spot the fake one because that black one dial is not smooth flat.

[@yaminyehya4129]

Its rumored that even watch experts cant tell Swissarex replicas from originals. Thats how good they are.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Date wheels are almost always a dead giveaway. They never line up perfectly as they should. Even though fakes are getting better with size. Proportions etc, they slways lack assembly detail. They ate slapped together. The swiss have nothing to worry against an adian slap stick

[@alsuwaysiualmuqanae985]

It has been rumored that the CEO of Rolex once hired a hitman to eliminate an individual named Swissarex. Allegedly, Swissarex stole the Rolex database and started making identical replica watches for a fraction of the price, using the same codes. He was

[@Cuico0001]

Very good and thanks for the information. Just one comment, almos the entire video is out of focus. Using a better video recorder would make your video 100% better.

[@bcbp14]

Gustavo Garcia the camera was a fake.

[@Edward1312]

The differences are miniscule 99.9% of people wouldnt notice or care about them. What does that tell you about what a rip off the real watch is!

[@Villex93]

You are just an idiot

[@algorithm007ify]

The movement is much less accurate in the fake

[@reddevilvs1]

as others have said the most ridiculous thing is that the replica on the right doesn't have swiss-made stamped on the bottom that is The Tell-Tale sign everything else could have been perfect without that it's a waste even to have the replica

[@sabaruengineering3843]

i bet you won't get any problem when you choose the watch with "special feature" like GPS Satellite watch, for example: Citizen Atessa GPS, Seiko Astron, G-Shock Mr-G, sadly there's none Swiss Watch on this race

[@philipbrailey]

Open the back up!! Very important.

[@chasequandt1021]

No "Swiss Made at 6 o'clock a bit of a giveaway

[@jfdomega7938]

good eye, i did not notice that!

[@drackula1985]

Swiss Made missing.

[@Ashima-Anchita37000]

In the end, a new era of watches has come. Some illegal company from EU started making mega clones called ziarex. Basically, what they are doing is buying original parts from workers in Rolex who flag that part as damaged and sell them. But thats not the

[@bcbp14]

Triple dream lyrical dream.

[@coperna714]

The best way to tell is the serial numbers inside the band, I guess. My blue-faced replica has the 3-D B at 12, the date numbers are high-contrast and fill the box, and the watch is, frankly, beautiful. It does not have the serial numbers on the band, though. Somebody below said aliexpress.com has quality replicas. They do (although I didn't get my Breitling there).

[@pc9043]

hi can you tell me where to find a Superocean replica?

[@qwerty45615]

I’m surprised you didn’t even mention the infix markings and how on the black watch the markings are off. This is a clear tell. The black is indeed a fake but it’s a bad fake. There are MUCH better fakes out there where you won’t be able to tell unless you open up the watch.

[@jimgagne3801]

This is why I buy Invicta, cause no one fakes them.Because their already made in China. :D

[@ChevyBM]

Jim Gagne hahahaa :D your comment made my day!

[@DAW1968]

Jim Gagne Nautica watches too, well made, great designs and cheap by comparison.

[@exentric26]

+Jim Gagne ... Actually they do make fake/replica Invictas... seen a few on ebay & you can find several on aliexpress

[@frecklefingers]

Buy a high-end watch from an authorized dealer. You'll pay retail, but you'll have peace of mind it's authentic.

[@MufasaJungle]

hahahaahah compoaring invicta to a breitling LOL

[@surenza]

Image quality is way too unfocused /blurry to see clearly

[@parraghp]

Quite easy. ‘Swiss made’ mark at 6oclock missing on fake one

[@hendimam525]

Most obvious "swiss made" on the replica's dial is missing

[@patricksimonson6218]

The crystal is also not as clear as the one on the real thing.

[@ottogibbs1]

the filming effort was obviously reduced when approaching the black watch... smt

[@rgamore]

So if the $50 runs well and maintains time, whose for loss? Keep the Breitling Original for show and wear the cheap for everyday. I wore a Colt for 35 years and it looks like it, a cheap look alike would have been nice so as to save the original. Now the Colt is at the Factory for an over haul. A new SuperOcean will adorn my wrist till the Colt returns. Breitling, is there any other brand?

[@michaelknauer7471]

spotted it immediately, the black one doesn't say swiss made at the six o'clock...boom video over

[@skyblockveteran5225]

looks like difference is price only
