Hello to all,
For one year I'm planning to buy a Breitling. And finally after searching on chrono24 and some other websites I found a Navitimer Olympus Moonphase. Exactly the model I want.

But how can I know for sure if this is a genuine watch? I have read the article "Spotting the Good Fakes" and some other articles.
So my question is: Is this watch "safe" to buy. Does anyone have any experience with the seller.
Here is a link to the watch:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Breitling-Navitimer-Olympus-Moonphase-A19340-/110665591951?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19c42eec8f

Appreciate your advice

Watch is overpriced and a non oem strap. That should be around $3500 IMO. I've been searching for awhile and seen that one listed for a very Long time.

On Chrono24 I could never find this watch searching for "Navitimer". I don't know for how long it is listed on chrono24.

Why do you think it is for sale for such a long time? Because of the price, and the strap?

It's real. The fakes don't have two hands on the 9 sub-dial.

It's a beautiful watch, but I don't like the gold accents.
