* A Genuine Breitling does not have the days of the week or of the month on the sub dials of the watch. What they have are the totalizers for the chronograph; except for the perpetual and calendar models.
* Genuine Breitling watches have anti-glare coating so you could look at the crystal of the watch as it reflects light. If the light reflected is not bluish or purple, then probable you are looking at a fake Breitling.
* Breitling always etches or stamps the date of manufacture and model numbers on the bracelet of its watches, thus if the bracelet does not have that stamp or mark on it, it is probably a fake Breitling.
* There is only one open-heart Breitling, and that is the Breitling for Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon and if someone tries to sell you one with a visible escapement, it's a fake Breitling.
* In real Breitling watches, the logo is embossed and in the fake Breitling the logo is just printed.
