This was from an eBay auction. Seller has 100% feedback and pics of the warranty card and box so I am pretty sure its real. The watch was purchased in 2007. I was curious what the real experts felt. Thanks!

Check that the papers match the watch, but real.

Looks real but the SOH replica is VERY good so, as Roff says, check the s/n matches the paperwork.

Assuming it does, then no worries.

Thanks guys. I should have the watch tomorrow. This is my first Ling (can't wait!) so out of curiosity where would I find the s/n on the watch itself? Thanks again!

The serial no. on the warranty card and COSC certificate appears to be 1091108. So make sure this number is engraved on the caseback. I can't see it in the photos, but this is probably due to that fact that the serial nos are often very faintly engraved compared to the other details

Look at http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... e_126.html
On the case back pic, the serial number of this watch is part hidden by the http://www.breitlingsource.com label

Let us know how you get on.

Nice...thanks. I blew up the picture from eBay about 600% and could not make out a serial number. Hopefully its just that its very faint and tough to make out. The pictures are defininely not high quality. I will certainly report back my findings!

A question...would REALLY sophisticated replicas/fakes have a fake s/n engraving that matches a fake certificate or is this even too advanced for the makers of these fake watches?

You can order some fakes with specific serial numbers.

OK so my new/used SuperOcean Heritage 46 arrived this morning and looks great considering it was originally purchased in 10/2007. The seller claimed to have had the watch serviced by Breitling in 2010 but there is no receipt for that. I wonder if I can call Breitling and give them the s/n and ask if it was serviced then?

Anyway the s/n on the watchback does match the certificate and both the mesh bracelet and Ocean Racer brown strap fit my wrist perfectly...after a little micro adjusting. The only strange thing at first was that the bracelet clasp is angled. I thought this was an issue but then I realized this bracelet clasp is supposed to be that way!

The bronze color is really gorgeous and I wanted to snap off a few pics. Thanks to all who helped with this and I am now officially a Breitling owner!!!

Congratulations!

If you call BUSA in CT they should be able to give you the service history (assuming that this is a US watch). Also ask them what the problem was - a 2007 watch shouldn't have needed a service that quickly (and it can't be an older watch) - that's very early for this model (in fact I thought it was a Basel 2008 introduction).

Thanks Roff. He told me there was nothing wrong with the watch....just a check-up. I will call on Monday. By the way sorry for the troilet/paper in the background...I was hiding from the wife while taking the pics. She doesn't appreciate how anyone could post pics of a new watch on a public message board!!! :wink:

It would be very easy to forge the paperwork to match the caseback s/n but no one does. Even in the counterfeit trade, it appears there is a line which is never crossed.
