The Breitling Watch Source Forums

hello all, I don't claim to be an expert at all but I do and have owned quite. few Breitlings. Now my recent purchase doesn't feel quite right. can you guys please look at the pics and let me know what you think.it does come with the original guarantee book dated and stamped but no cosc.






Also this super avenger looks and feels right but was received without any paperwork

I have just purchased this old Navitimer but it doesn't feel quite right . the quality just doesn't seem to be right.






I am so purchased this avenger that looks and feels right but has no paperwork

many thanks for that Dracha What about the super avenger? Can anybody else please confirm authenticity ?

Thanks

The Avenger looks okay to me based on the quality of the lume dots of the dial. I'm not strong on this model range though so I'd wait someone else to confirm.

The Navi looks fine. This Navi is a pre-chronometer model so didn't have a COSC certificate.

Thanks for that sir. So when was Cosc certificates introduced because I think the guarantee book has this model down as 94 or 96, not sure without checking ?

I think Breitling made all their watches chronometer-grade from about 2001 onwards. Previously only selected models were. The third digit in the reference number indicates this (0= non-COSC, 3=COSC)
