Hi, I bought this from an online grey market dealer, so there is probably almost no chance of it being fake. Despite this, I have become concerned because I have weighed it at 102 grams which is 2 grams over the 99.7 that Breitling's site lists and I have no idea whether this is a normal tolerance for a watch.
I compared the bezel font and the lume dots to another Superocean at an AD, and they appear to be identical. I just want another opinion so I can stop worrying. Thanks.

(I am fairly certain the messy appearance of the top two lume dots is caused by shadows due to the uneven lighting, I noticed the same thing on the Superocean I saw at the AD)

Looks ok to me, but there's a very good rep of this model, also.

Thanks everyone. So no one finds the 2 grams of excess weight to be concerning? (sorry, I'm probably starting to get annoying)

People are not generally in the habit of weighing their watches so really don't study the accuracy of Breitling weights. All we can tell you is that the watch looks real, but ultimately if you want total peace of mind then you need to buy from an AD, not grey market!

All right, in the future I will be buying from an AD. I feel like I needed this experience to understand the value of buying from an authorized source. Thanks again.
