Toady I received a Breitling Pro 3 bracelet from authentic watches.com. It was sealed in vacuumed sealed plastic with Breitling logo on it and looks legit. This company only sells authentic products so they claim. So I opened the package and fitted the bracelet to my watch went to remove some links and.... screws are tight. Finally get them off and... Rusty screws? How can this be possible Breitling Seawolf avenger 2 has a depth rating of 10000ft and my bracelet screws are rusty out of the package? So I called the GOOD AD ive dealt with recently in Tronto and they were happy to answer my questions and were very polite. They even went on to Authentic watches.com to look. They said its very unlikely if not impossible for the screws on an authentic Breitling Bracelet to be rusty. Just as I had thought because I own a pilots bracelet with the same screws. The TO AD had said Breitling does not supply any non authorized dealers parts and accessory's with that being said grey market dealers can get watches why not bracelets? Our conclusion to the conversation was that the pro 3 bracelet is a 2 or 3 year old product max and no way could these screws rust inside of a vacuum sealed package or out for that matter. Are they made of a least 316L stainless steel. So I called authentic watches.com after I sent the pictures and they had told me this is impossible and I was the one whom opened the package. I relayed all the info from the Toronto service center and they agreed to take in back to inspect it as not all the screws where removed and they will see the rust on the untouched ones for them self's. Now I wait patiently for a refund or some explanation. My question is could Breitling have or had a quality control problem? Are these screws and or bracelet authentic. Looks legit to me. By no means am I a seasoned watch professional. This company prides it self with claims of selling only authentic watches and accessory's. My thought was if the bracelet was cleaned in an ultra sonic in the manufacturer stage and not dry then put in the package maybe this is what happens? I know china can make some nice copys but I couldn't say this looks legit as well the PRO 2 bracelet was not exactly know to be a quality bracelet.. Any comments or experience with Breitling quality control or general thoughts appreciated . http://www.authenticwatches.com/brei...l#.U5I71vldXsY
