Check that serial numbers match everywhere but looks real to me.

Thanks for the link, some of the Avenger replicas are scary in their authentic appearance!

Even though this listing has ended I have the seller's details and was going to make him an offer, however following a look at google images (typing in Breitling Avenger Seawolf steel yellow) it's rather "voided my bowels" to put it politely!

I for one don't have the balls to try my hand with a private seller, not when the replicas can look so convincing so it's authorised agents only for me.

P.S. should you hear of an Avenger Seawolf steel with steel bracelet and yellow dial that's pre-owned at a UK authorised retailer please p.m. me, thanks.

If s/n on case back and paperwork match, you can be confident it's real.

If the serial number is etched on the case back of a replica how hard can it be to make matching fake documentation? Does this happen?

Rarely, and the fake papers are usually fairly easy to spot.

Funny, because I've always thought that it would be easier to create fake documents than to create a fake watch. You'd think they'd go the extra mile, or kilometer...
