Hi everybody! I'm newly interested in the Breitling Super Avenger and new to this site. I've been doing my homework and hope to make a good purchase soon. I came across this ad and notice how the dark picture (meant to show the glowing features) is not the same watch! The dark picture has numbers on the bezel at the 10,20,40 and 50 marks and the daylight picture does not. the dark picture magnifies the date and the daylight picture does not. also th minute hand is different.....et al. Bad sign?

Welcome aboard.
I would skip this one, bad photos, no papers.
Watch looks real to me (judging by the pearl), but if you'll receive a replica instead, you wouldn't know that.
This model's replica is one of the best made.

I also noticed the date (9) in the very last photo is not centered, and it appears to be a nearly straight-on shot.

I always get suspicious when the pics of the caseback, clasp and bracelet greatly outnumber the pics of the dial and bezel.

As for the "dark" pic and the "light" pic - nothing to be concerned with there. The dark pic is a stray picture of a Rolex Submariner obviously uploaded by mistake. :lol:

:welcome:

Probably real but can't be certain from those pics. Plenty more Super Avengers about so I would wait for one with full paperwork.
