Hi guys,

I recently bought a second hand Super Avenger at a good price, though it came on an aftermarket leather strap and no Breitling bracelet or leather.
I'm sure it's authentic, but there's just this niggling doubt in my mind, probably because I bought it used.

Unfortunately, I never found out about this forum until after my purchase, otherwise I would have posted pictures of it beforehand.

The main thing that is bothering me is the caseback.
I've been looking through a lot of pictures of Super Avengers on here and the actual caseback is the same shiny polished SS to the rest of the case.

But on my watch the caseback seems to be a little off silver. It might have been tarnished through wear and sweat and there is a very slight tint of bronze.
But at the same time, I have a feeling that maybe it had been opened and put back with another caseback?? Maybe I'm being too paranoid.

Here is a picture of the caseback of my watch, although the tint of bronze doesn't show up well in the picture, could anyone clarify if this watch is real?

On my Omega Seamaster, the caseback has a red dot which is replaced with a blue one when the watch has been opened.
Is there such a thing with Breitlings?

Can't see anything wrong from that picture.

Breitling do not have an Omega style dot to indicate if the case back has been removed.
