Anyone out there who has a Le mans, did it come with a cosc certificate? I'm looking at one and the owner says the Le mans did not come with a cosc.
Thank you, Mike

The middle number of the Le Mans reference A22362 is a 3 which means it is COSC certified. Maybe the owner meant that the one he owns does not come with COSC as he's lost it but it most certainly had one when it left the factory.

And as an ex-Le Mans owner, I can confirm that it certainly did have a COSC certificate.

The seller is trying to pull the wool over your eyes there me thinks.

Mine has one.

I suspect that the seller 'did a Driver8' with his paperwork :twisted:

Mine has one as well

Just curious, are you looking at the ones on EBAY ?
Both of them have an over polished bezel :watchout:....minimum 300$ to get a new one from Breitling

Yes it's the watch in Florida, I looked for a Le Mans about a year ago, and ended up collecting some different pieces. As I remembered they did come with a certificate, but the seller in florida swears they didn't, even said he called Breitling USA.

Just needed to hear it from the forum,
Thank you, Mike
