Sorry, it's a fake.

The real a68062 looks like this - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... al_28.html

There are two versions of this watch. (New) one points your link (it also refers by two numbers: a68062, a68362).

I wonder if anyone saw or have picture of the previous version of this watch..?

From a back it looks very like http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Breitling/ ... watch.aspx
but again this is B-1.

I am amazed by number of replicas bretling has. Anyway that's why I put macro real photos to check verify it by details.

Maybe it is possible to identify it by opening it???

There's no need to open it, it's fake.

The caseback is common among many fakes. You can see that the dial looks nothing like the real model.

Just to confirm Roff's words, the B-1 style case back with the model ref A68062 and serial number 1111 is found on lots of different cheap fakes. A search of this section shows how common it is.

I'm probably a dope for asking, but what previous version?

There have been 3 versions of the B-1, all available in black, blue and grey.

The B-1 replaced the Chronospace and was itself replaced by the Airwolf.

Thanks, Sharkmouth. I'm assuming none of them looked like the OP's watch. :wink:

Not in the slightest! Other than the changes in the wording, they're identical.
