Its less likey that a B&M will be a fake than a Rolex, TAG or Omega- but a stroll thru the nightmarkets of Bangkok will show show you nothing is impossible.

Its more likey that the watch is "grey market", that is, being re-sold by a non authorised dealer, sometimes with the serial numbers removed. This can lead, I believe in the US, to warranty being voided by the mfr.

If its offered either new or as ex cond second hand with numbers, box and papers, you should be OK- but be very careful unless you have knowledge of the marnaufacture and the model.

A good piece of advice is to research your seller. I have bought many watches from private individuals and dealers over the web and from O/S and never had a problem. However, as always....Exercise caution.

Nice dress watch, BTW. A friend in the US had B&M, i thought it was a very nicely executed watch.
