Hi. In your opinion please, do you think this Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant A41330.2 is genuine or a replica? Attachment: 2.jpg Attachment: 3.jpg Attachment: 4.jpg I also got given this card with it too. I think it is for a service it had but I'm not certain. Attachment: 5.jpg Thank you. |

This is also what I was told by the previous owner. The previous owner said it had a full service a few weeks ago. I got it looked at in two AD's after I bought it and they both passed it as genuine  Then a lady from one of the AD's offered to get in touch with Breitling themselves to check the model and serial number with them. She got back to me a few days later and said that Breitling did not recognise the model number and did not have the serial number in their database and she recommended that I returned the watch to the previous owner in an exchange for my money back (£1400). I felt that this info was strange as I've seen this model number before on the same watch elsewhere. Also, if the watch did just have a full service wouldn't the serial number be now added into their system? I don't fully trust her judgment because she also said she didn't recognise the back of the watch and I myself have seen the same back on many Montbrillants of this age (online). I must also add that I currently have a £100 deposit held on a new £4.5k Navitimer in the same store that this lady works at and they are waiting for a decision from me to buy the new watch. They wouldn't lie to me would they to get me to buy the new one maybe...? I thought I had become very good at spotting replicas and would be very shocked if this is indeed a fake as it looks and feels very real and high quality. Everytime I wear the watch out I get compliments on it too so others are also recognising the quality without me pointing out the price. |

It's real, no idea what the lady's agenda / confusion was. |

Yes it is 100% real and looks nice. Trust us, Roff and I know our stuff. However its the older Monty, a A30030, not a A41330. The only issue is it appears to have a 4 digit serial no.? which is odd, unless its a limited edition no. |

I guess the serial number are only unique in the ref no. |

Thank you guys for your help. I was pretty sure it was genuine too but it's good to hear it from you pro's also P.S. Sorry about the typo in the model number. I was looking at these too and rushed the thread posting. |

perfectly real, as all have said. and very nice, too. whatever the hidden agenda of that saleslady is, you got a beautiful watch at a very good price, so instead of thinking about returning this watch you might think about whether to trust this AD ? |
