100 % Genuine, No good fakes of the B1. Not sure if this is the SQ model though ?

was thinking it was a SQ because it looks like it has 'Chronometre Certifie' under the Ling... that's what really all i was basing my assumption on as I was thinking the earlier movement only had B1.... is this correct?

I've requested some more pictures... but if all is well would you all agree that the price range is good for it especial if its only just been serviced?

Regards

The fact it has a COSC certificate would imply it is a Super Quartz version. Check the model ref number, it should be A68362 for the SQ version

The SQ version is A78362. A68362 is 2000 onwards. Before that it was the non certified A68062.

It has Chronometre B1 on the SQ version and just B1 on the other, Both models have a COSC as they are both chonometeres however the SQ means its thermocompensated as well.

Lot's of B-1 info here

http://donindiano.lanetcie.com/watches/breitling/b-1/


All B-1 fakes are very poor and most have pushers on the left as well as the right side of the case. Typical example...

A68362 is a COSC certified non-SQ.
