Hiya folks I have been directed to this forum by the members of another watch forum I'm on, iappologise that my first post is to ask for help.
I am in talks with the seller re buying this watch ... but looking for opinions whether it is indeed the real deal and not a franklin or rep :-0
any help much appreciated as I'm no expert even tho it seems to look ok to me, hope some of the breitling guys have a chance to look and give their opinion's ,
I've asked the seller for close up's of the dial and case back too , just not 100% sure it's worth the risk ?- but I'm very very tempted to go for it :-/
thanks Julie

The listing has ended but the seller said he will re list with a buy it now price for me

Yeah this one looks okay. There is a Code Yellow fake but it has obvious flaws:

It amazes me that the Fake manufacturers would run production of a limited model like the Code Yellow.

Thank you to the folks for taking the time to look and post, i feel much better about purchasing it now, as im sure you guys all know your stuff much better than i do.
If all goes to plan I will pay for this tommoro :) but please feel free to share any thoughts about the watch , to be truthful I would rather avoid e bay for a high value purchase like this but I love this code yellow and have been looking for months.
Would it be advisable to also have it checked at an authorised dealer if/when it arrives ?
... Can you tell I'm a bit nervous about being stung :-0 lol
Thanks again folks
Julie :)

The main things to check are that the serial number matches the one on the COSC Certificate and warranty card. (I can almost make out the serial no. on the above pic and it seems to match the COSC anyway.)

No need to get it checked - it's real.

As you have been advised, just check that the serail number matches between watch, warranty and COSC certificate.

Serial number matches type of watch, so I can support the real statement.

Meant to check back and say , the watch is A1 ok , authorised and valued at the AD , it turns out it originally came from their sister shop down south and the guy who resizes my band the day i went in was up in edinburgh to cover that week , turns out he was the guy who first sold It last year , he said he could remember clearly as they only got one in , and said it was in very good condition - looked like it had hardly been worn :)
Anyway all is well that ends well , was sweating for a while tho lol,
Seriously tho - thanks for the help with this guys
Photos to follow :)
