As noted in the Brietling Duograph Introduction, a significant number of pieces have issues and are not original. Depending on the feedback I receive, I may either add a comment section to this page, or add comments (with user permission).
We see issues generally in a few key areas:
– Dial (including but not limited to incorrect ‘TOP TIME’ or ‘PREMIUM’ dials, as well as dials which should include the ‘DUOGRAPH’ text)
– Hands
– Case
While questionable pieces appear on a number of sites, there is quite a bit of discussion on the internet on the ‘Breitling Museum’. This website is not affiliated with Breitling, and rather is maintained by a seller of Breitlings. Negative views of this site (and owner, Herbert Michael Marz, who goes by names TheSage/schroeder/alex/PREMIUMWATCH/TOPWEBSELLS, depending on site) can be found in a variety of forums:
– The Collection of a Crook / Lunatic (chronocentric),
– The Many Fakes of Herbert Michael Marz (chronocentric)

– Warning for Breitling Fakes… (Uhren Forum)
