Opened a second thread for another watch (Let me know if I should've kept it all on the same thread). As stated in my first thread, I am in the market for a Navitimer and am deciding on one of two watches for sale (this is the second watch). Can you help identify authenticity? This one may be a little more of a challenge (imho) as the pictures are not as clear as my first thread - I'm guessing the photographer used a flash on his/her camera.     Thanks again!

That one looks real too, but again check that the paperwork matches the watch. |

If you can fake a watch then you can fake paperwork. This paperwork is real, and if you get a full set including the perforated warranty booklet then you can be fairly safe, but COSC certs have definitely been faked to match a watch. |

 Quote: Are serial numbers ever forged on the watches and/or paperwork themselves? All replica (as opposed to cheap fakes) have the correct model number and a genuine looking serial number. On some replicas, the s/n is the same for every watch made but newer replicas have individual s/n.Fake boxes and COSC certificates are easily obtainable but I have never seen (or even heard) of a fake Warranty Book. This is what you should always look for and check the s/n on the warranty matches that on the watch. Best of luck with your search for the classic Breitling. |
