Hello folks,

I am new to the wonderful Breitling watch, and just had an early Christmas present from my wife !

I have been engrossed in this magnificent encyclopeadia of Breitling knowledge, and am truly facinated by the world interest and knowledge that is on here.

Before I get too excited though, I was horrified to read how many fakes there are out there, and I am hoping with all of my heart that the Cosmanaute Scott Carpenter Special Edition that I now own and love to bits, is authentic.
I am worried that I didn't discover this forum a little earlier now !

I will put the close up photos on here, and would welcome the knowledgable on here, for your opinions.

Many thanks and thankyou for allowing me to be a member here.

Oscar.

:welcome:

Enjoy your time here!

:real:

I've never seen a replica of the Scott Carpenter Navi and all fake Cosmonauts use a standard 12 hour movement, not 24 hour.

Roll on Christmas!
