My wife bought me a Breitling Super Avenger off eBay to surprise me for my birthday, all the paper work and box looks legit, but I know how easily that is faked. Since the watch lightly used she sent it away to a person our local jeweler recommended to get serviced, cleaned and authenticated, but according to their website they are not an AD. I discovered the box by accident otherwise I would have not known until my birthday that's why she sent it away without my knowledge or input.

Here is the link to the listing, with pictures, without the watch in my hand I have nothing but these pictures to try to determine the authenticity. Truthfully, I do not have any clue what to look for with Breitling's, here is the link, please let me know if there is anything that looks fishy

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=200685340481&si=NkvBCgPNqVBPrzVJUP8xsU5ohvo%253D&viewitem=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Like i said previously the person she sent the watch too is not an AD, we don't have any dealer within a 3 hour radius of our location, so the our local jeweler referred us to mail the watch to a jeweler he has worked with before. He has referred us to jewelers to service my rolex before and I do semi-trust him, but I have never heard of this referred jeweler. I am guessing the jeweler he referred is capable of servicing and cleaning, but as soon as it is returned, i will have to send it to breitling to be properly authenticated. It's a great gift, but she didn't exactly take the correct route in getting it, or sending it for service and it has left my head spinning with stress...

Looks real to me but I'm getting nervous about the shorter minute marks on the batons SA after the last one on here!
