Here is a watch I saw on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/300644876937?ss ... 1423.l2649

Any ideas on real or replica?

Yes, it's real but not quite as described. Its few years older than claimed and is not COSC certified.

Looks exactly as mine. It is a Breitling Colt Auromarine chronograph automatic watch, I doubt if it was manufactured in 2004. As per Breitling Source this watch was in production between 1997-2000.

Ref: http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... e_149.html

The bracelet link 861A is a original bracelet end link for this watch, hence the bracelet seems to be genuine. The only concern I have here with this watch I could not spot the serial number below the model number in the case cover. Just ask the seller if there is a serial number beneath the model number and it's pictures.
