Only ever buy a Steelfish with perfect papers. The replicas are too good.

Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, I had to use my Iphone till i get my camera. All the numbers matched and the AD we met at verified the numbers on the watch, warranty book, and the COSC with the model number via phone with Breitling. I just wanna be sure because this is my first Breitling. I checked the screws, the "S", the serials, and all seemed to check out. Thanks again everyone. |

Well about all I can tell from these pics is I can't tell much. Perhaps the more experienced can help, but I didn't think the arrow second hand was around in 2007. Bottom line, the serial # on the warranty book's last page needs to match the serial # on the COSC certificate which needs to match the serial # under the model number on the caseback. If one is off - leave and don't listen to the AD - I proved an experienced AD could not tell a good Steelfish fake. |

One screw looks a bit round but I guess it's just the photo. If all the paperwork is OK, I'd have no problem buying. |

Genuine Fish without any doubt whatsoever. Replicas have too big bezel pearl and the bezel font sharpness and number shape on the genuine is unique. You can tell from the bracelet SEL shape too. They're recessed on the genuine Fish while on all replicas I've seen they're on par with the lug height. |

Hey Apocalypse, We'll have to get you as our resident Steelfish expert! I can spot most of the replicas but the SOSF is one I hate calling out. Glad to have you with us! |
