I've came across a good price on a Breitling super ocean abyss, the person said he bought it from authenthicwatches.com. Has anyone ever purchase watches from this company before as i would like to know some feedback.
Are their watches really authentic? as he mention that it did not come with the warranty booklet, but does come with the purchase card from there.
Would anyone know how i can tell how old the watch is and find if it has any orginal warranty?

any feedback would be appreciated, thanks

Authentic Watches like Joma Shop I consider to be one of the safe grey market sellers, so if you're sure that's where he got the watch, you are ok. You should have a look at what it's being sold for because you might be paying almost as much used as new. There's no Breitling warranty. period, but they typically offer a year or two of their own warranty but I'm guessing it can't be transferred.

With my Joma shop purchase the only form of paperwork was the Breitling manual. This is something you have to be sure on up front because not all grey sellers do things the same way. I have bought two other Breitlings which both had everything included just as if I had purchased new from an AD, other than the B warranty of course.

The pictures he showed me looks complete expect for the warranty booklet and the handtag, but does have the COSC certificate and the Purchase/warranty credit card size thing that i assume you get when you buy from authenticwatches.com. I have check the website and it says it comes with a 3 year warranty that is transferable.
Its purchase date was 9/2012 so assume the watch is pretty new? how can i tell when the watch was manufactured?

The watch hasn't been around long enough to be concerned about that. The purchase date is the only thing that's relevant because of the warranty. If anything, if the warranty concerns you, you should look into exactly how it works. I've never seen anyone post who had a grey market dealer take care of a Breitling watch issue.

No warranty card, no warranty. That's the issue with grey market - and any AW warranty should be treated as meaningless because they don't have access to Breitling parts.
