I think the title sums it up: an unbelievable story. Any watchmaker trained to service the B01 movement would have balked at this immediately, and I find it equally implausible that a watchmaker would put a well-paying job and his reputation on the line to scam someone out of a few grand.

Also the serial number was polished off--of the case back???

I don't know what to tell you. Everything I said was 100% accurate and truthful. I left nothing out, and didn't stretch the truth whatsoever. If you would like to call the places to verify, please let me know so I can provide you their contact information.

Sure. I'd definitely like to hear their side of the story.

I don't think you can blame Breitling for anything. It's not their job to help people recover money who buy fake watches. The problem should be with the AD who authenticated it.
