Hello :lingsrock: Buddies,

I'm buying my first Breitling off eBay and I'm absolutely in love with the Airwolf. I'm aware of the scams/replicas etc. and have done tons of homework and tried my best to compare and contrast. Now I'm reaching out in this forum for extra eyes and advice. Any bit helps. The watch comes with all documents/paper work (serial numbers match), boxes, receipts etc. Do the fakes even come with paper work? Anyway, thanks a million in advance.

Looks good to me. I don't think there is a fake Airwolf that looks remotely similar. Fakes often come with a Crosswind Special manual and a blank COSC.

Sure looks like mine, without the co-pilot module. I'd snap it up. Since Airwolves are discontinued, not too many out on the market.

Hey guys what do you think about this one? All research I've done so far has indicated real but having second thoughts cause the replicas are pretty close as far as I can see. Any way to tell the difference? Watch comes with all docs, boxes and numbers check out. Thanks again ya'll for the help. :bow:

Airwolf replicas aren't very good - it's real.

I've never seen a half decent Airwolf/B-1 replica.

All the fakes have a standard LCD with black numbers on silver rather than silver on black as on the gen. This is typical

If it looks real, it is!

Ok, thanks. I've been comparing the $300 replicas online and they all show similar to the real thing. I guess what we see online is totally different then what we get in the mail. Thanks for the picture -Sharkmouth-. I didn't realize the high end replicas were that bad.

So, I've decided to buy the Airwolf (black diver band) in my second picture post. Thank you everyone for all your input, support and education. I'm looking forward to becoming part of the club here :lingsrock: and owner.

Cheers 8)
