There is a very good fake of this model, but this one looks OK. |

Thanks. Anything else specific to look for? It comes with B&P. Here is another of the dial.  Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 |

I'm happy that it's real, but make sure that numbers match. |

Thanks. Number match on warranty card and certificate but I hear that there are fakes with matching papers as well. |

I got it. Look beautiful. The AR is intact. The bracelet needs some good cleaning but overall a nice example. COSC and Warranty stamped and matching serial number on case back. Warranty dated 2007 so it’s an early model. The only thing that threw me off a bit was the not so curved ‘S’ in Superocean. From what I read, not all the models have the curved “S”. Is that the case? The lume dots are perfect and flush. Here is a very clear picture. Any other doubts. Do I need to send it to Breitling?

Thank you very much.  I had two Seawolfs in the past, but never tried a Steelfish before. I guess I needed to scratch that itch, so I was looking for a Steelfish for some time. I don’t know much about this particular model so I did some digging and found those superfakes that made me reconsider buying used until I saw this local one. It does look and feel real and all the paperwork is there. The seller was a nice gentlemen and the 1st owner of the watch and gave me the complete history. I guess seeing some of those fakes out there made me very paranoiac about every watch. I always buy the seller and it has worked for me in the past.  Cheers and have a good weekend guys.
