Hi fellas,

Before hitting the paypal button can the Breitling experts give me their opinion on the authenticity of this watch......

Box, paperwork, receipt, macro quality photos - what more do you want? :D

Just kidding - you can't be too careful! There is a fake of this model but the sub-dials are incorrect.

This one's fine and I really like the white/blue combination. An overlooked and undervalued model imho.

Looks fine to me - as much as anyone can be without handling the watch.

All that should tie up does apart from the back of the warranty booklet being left blank - if I were selling it I'd have filled it in myself so it wouldn't raise any questions. Even the bracelet no. is correct so I'd go for it.

The only small thing that looks different (not wrong you understand) is the wings logo in the centre of the caseback. Someone with a similar model of that age can verify that it is correct.

If that's the same one at the bargain price on eBay I wouldn't hang around too long or it will be gone - try a cheeky offer £50 lower than the buy now!

Thanks Shark.I'm just a little paranoid where Ebay is concerned.I was slightly concerned that the markings where the numbers would be seem darker than other pics of this model...normally silver?.

Earnst Jones Jewellers in Harrogate! I bought not only my Pro II Bracelet for my EM but my Fiance's Engagement Ring from there!!!

Small world.

Looks 100% the genuine article to me.

Best wishes,

Verner

Thanks BB and Verner.Was your warranty from Ernest Jones stamped EJ rather than Ernest Jones too Verner?

Looks Legit to me. The completely open warranty book is a bit odd... usually they fill those out for you if they aren't typed in already. Often the date is left open, but the serial and model are usually filled in.

My B-1 was originally from Ernest Jones and the perforated dealer ID is exactly the same as that one in the photos.

Have it!
