Post subject:  Breitling B-2 advices
I'm considering purchasing a B-2 chronograph (it caught my eye while browsing the net), but information about this watch , reviews etc seem to be quite scarce. I saw the page on Breitlingsource, and a couple of amateur-ish videos, but that's more or less it.

So I was curious, is this model a good one to purchase, since it doesn't seem as popular? Are there good fakes, or anything I should pay special attention to?
The watch doesn't come with papers, but with a service form and receipt from an AD (serviced a couple of years ago), so should I consider this proof enough of being genuine? The seller appears to be a trusted one, with lots of successful transactions and the watch looks in pretty good condition.

here are a couple of photos from the seller:

Anything I should be wary of before pulling the trigger?

Thanks!

No decent fakes, watch is real. An underappreciated piece in my opinion, not overly popular when new, perhaps because it is a bit 'busy' in terms of the dial.

not much busier than a navitimer, in my opinion. And that's actually what drew my attention, I like busy dials. But, yeah, no accounting for tastes. In fact, th watch looks basically like a Navitimer with a rotating bezel.

This one was the second generation B2, often known as the polka dot version. I've owned both, and the 2ng gen is much easier to read. Both great watches.

Always liked the B-2, had this version for a while... loved the busy dial, just a little thick and heavy to wear often, so let it go.

Good luck with your decision!

Nice! I had the same model a couple years back, love the dial on those.
