Fake to me. Lume, pearl, caseback, serial. |

 and  Lume dots/pearl don't look right to me. There are hundreds of Super Avengers being sold so I would only buy one with correct paperwork. The latest fakes are very good indeed so why take the risk? |

another from me, fake, would NEVER even consider a SA without papers.you could offer that "somebody" some funny money in return and claim it is "100% authentic". |

I'm not so sure. I thought the better fakes were just on the newer models. As this is has non-stenciled numbers I'm tempted to think it could be real. But I haven't seen enough models in the flesh to be 100%. bnewbie why do you think the case back and serial look off? But I agree with others and say I wouldn't buy without the full papers. |

Seems odd to me someone would have the bracelet, strap, and ocean racer, but not care enough to keep the box and papers. |

Well...unless he works for Breitling and built it himself there, then that basically defined fake. |

In light of that story, there is nothing else we need to see. It's a sure bet he's lying, and the watch is fake. Forget about it and look elsewhere. That's all the advice you need. |
