Here is an example of the box i am referring to in the post. I have seen these many times over the years. Are they Breitling boxes or not? http://cgi.ebay.com/breitling-aeromarin ... Watches_GL thanks for you answers |

I can't access ebay at work, so I can't open your link, but Breitling definitely did (still do?) make wooden boxes for the solid gold models. I sourced a nice walnut Bentley version for my old Le Mans, and I've seen a few "standard Breitling" wooden versions over the years too. They are very nicely made things. |

thanks for the reply. I also dont think breitling ever made a standard beitling watch (non gold or limited) wooden box. Someone once told me they did so in the Asia market??? |

OK I've just managed to open the eBay link (at last!) and I don't think that's a genuine one. The only gens I've seen look like Alan M's. |

Sorry I must agree with Driver8. There are LE wooden Breitling boxes out there that I have not seen but I think that you can tell by the workmanship. That one looks a little 'looooose' |

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13271&p=102918&hilit Here's a link to an older one I bought from swiss1, square corners though, the ebay one looks too modern for a Breitling, but who knows could have been a special deal. Ian |

Yep, at the time one was presented to me in a part ex., i was using a genuine one as a daily user, the fake was amazing, until we had the back off ! The general weight and aesthetics were at the time the best of any fake. Interestingly, most were blue with a matching UTC ! |
