Hi all, after straining my eyes for many nights to spot a fake.I am reasonabley happy that this one is the real deal even down to the strap.A well worn example with an early style diver, I'm going to wear it to work so not worried about a few dings etc looks like it has been buffed ,not too sure about the outer AR coating either? I hope to bring it back to that lovely grey titanium look that my Aerospace has...BUT I require the expert's to confirm it is a genuine Breitling. :bow:

Watch is real, strap looks OK too. Earlier straps had the wrong number of holes and would show white if you bend them.

There used to be a good replica of the E17370 Seawolf, but not in yellow, and it's not been available since 2006. It had two flaws.

1. The 3000M/10000FT was italicised on the dial

2. The case back said 300M, not 3000M

No question that yours is real. Strap looks OK too.
