This is a little after the fact, but I just purchased this last night. It is shipping out today. I will get it authenticated at my AD tomorrow when I receive it, but I'm anxious. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111015536842?ss ... 1439.l2649 It looks legitimate to me. Thanks for the help! |

Thank you! I'm still going to have it authenticated but at least I will sleep well tonight. I'm planning on having the dial changed to a different color when I send it in for service. It's been years since I've had a Breitling so I'm very excited. |

Sleep well, no doubt that it's real. |

Well I took it to my Houston AD to have an extra link I ordered from Breitling installed. When I asked if they could open the back up to double confirm it's legitimate they looked at me funny. They said only Breitling can do that. I thought that was weird as it's common place to have an AD verify authenticity. They installed the links and didn't raise any alarms so I'm assuming it's the real deal. I just can't shake the shadow of a doubt that it's not legitimate. It looks right, it feels right, but until I see the movement I'm not sure I'll be convinced. I've been searching the web to compare and there are some VERY good replicas with all of the markings. Hopefully I can find a dealer who will open it up and check. One things is for certain, this is the same watch from the pictures I shared here. |

the movement is BY FAR the easiest part of this watch to fake. It did have an authentic Breitling movement when it left the factory, no doubt; and no doubt the watch case, dial, hands and bracelet are authentic - some very reliable voices have confirmed that in this thread, with a combined knowledge most probably no AD can match. Now, if you insist on having lingering doubts - somebody could have swapped the authentic movement with a vanilla 7750 or even a fake 7750 from China; but ...... |

Thanks guys! My business paranoia creeps into other parts of my life every now and then. Thanks for the double assurance. |

Real as previously said. It doesn't matter that the AD staff didn't take the back off as I very much doubt they would be able to tell the difference from a real Breitling/Valjoux movement and a Chinese clone. |
