I wanted to see how this one looked for authenticity. Looks good to me, but I have seen some Ocean Racers with a raised logo. My assumption is those are a different part number or newer. I assume from the pictures of this one that it is a 2007 from week 52 and so at that time, the logo on the clasp was embossed vs. raised. Any thoughts are appreciated. thanks!

No idea if it's real or not, but the model number (144a is correct). However the date code - 5207 can't be correct the ocean classic (not ocean racer) wasn't introduced until much later than 07. |

ugh, I had the bracelet name wrong. I thought that this bracelet on the SOH 46 was introduced in 2007? |

Possibly one of the first off the assembly line?  it does look legit to me. One thing that I noticed is that the embossing that sometimes leaves a small discoloration on the backside of the clasp is not there. The discoloration from the Breitling wings on the safety clasp I should say. I know if you see an indentation of the wings, that is a red flag, but I thought that you would always see the discoloration.

Thanks all. I am going to see if I can get my hands on this one for a good price! It is used, but looks to be in great shape (some small indents on the screws, but they don't look too bad). |
