The Breitling Watch Source Forums

hello i have for about 2 years a diver pro that i bought over ebay, at the time i posted some pictures to verify its autenticity and all answers were positive.

2 years later some parts of the rubber have a strange white color.... i used it a couple of times over the past 2 years but in one of the times i got some drink turned over the rubber, and believe that is the reason why some white spots appeared

is this normal? i had another breitling diver pro but bought from breitling, was a bit different, version 2 whit not so sunken breitling letters and used it a lot and never apeared any white stains

Hello,

Rubber straps from Breitling are in black, blue & Brown sometimes.

Never heard about white ones, even for "old" ones with Breitling written on both extern sides and the new one without letters ar with the Ocean Racer

I think he means his black Diver Pro has some areas that have turned white.

The usual indication of a fake (at least older fakes) was white when you bent it, but never heard of a strap turning white. Are you sure that it's not some kind of stain on the strap rather than the strap itself?

I made the mistake once of buying a Diver Pro I on ebay. It was a fake (albeit a well done one) and I sent it back. Lesson learned. I have two Diver Pros purchased from my AD that are older than yours and they're in great condition with no coloration issues. No way to know for sure without seeing it, but I'm guessing yours isn't genuine.

I have mine for 2 years without a problem. I've been diving in salt water, wearing it for long periods of time in very hot weather. No prob.
