Hi! Someone out there ready for authentic identification! Case or strap/bracelet? Refnr: 3792561 Ser.nr: 57571 Has a Chronomat produced in 2001 an inner black box with Breitling in yellow handwritings. Is that correct? More questions will follow! /R |

The serial no. on the watch matches the COSC certificate, but not the warranty card? Any pics of the face of the watch? |

Watch looks real, but I have no idea what is going on with the warranty booklet, the numbers don't match the watch, the reference number is in the wrong format and the date isn't filled in - something very odd there. |

The box is genuine and was used from 1999-2003. The warranty book details are nonsense. |

Which is the most importent issue in this matter? Certificate or signed warranty card? Is the certificate and Watch genuine? |

The watch is out of warranty so that's technically irrelevant. As you have already been told, the watch is real, and the COSC cert looks OK, but a colour photocopier is an easy tool to use! Personally the suspect warranty would cause me to leave well alone, first rule is to buy the seller first and it's not like this is a unique watch that you will never find again. |

The watch is real, COSC also looks real to me. |

From what I can see Watch - real Strap - looks aftermarket (which is not unexpected for a watch of this age) Buckle - real Box/manual - real COSC - real Warranty book - real (but details entered are bizarre!) The COSC confirms that the watch is genuine so I don't see that the warranty book is an issue. As Roff suggested, buy the seller, then buy the watch. |

One thing more thing before case closed. I noticed the Bretling Logo was a bit different compared to others I´ve seen. Especially the "B" and the wings and anchor which feels like cut off. What do you say guys. I`m I too worried? /R |
