Hello,
Here we go, with a SuperOcean. The pictures may look a little fuzzy.

What do you think?

Thank you.

Can't tell from those pictures, but the papers look OK.

I'll attach some other pictures if the seller sends them to me.

There is a good fake of this model, so I'm still not prepared to commit 100%, but I think that it's OK. A good close shot of the dial that is actually large enough to see details will help immensely.

A real bracelet does not mean a real watch and a fake bracelet does not mean a fake watch - I would never call a watch based on strap / bracelet.

True but one usually follows the other but not always.

Hard to see, but it looks like ending of ans "S" in "Superocean" is long enough to be real.

Gut feel says OK but I'd like to see that the s/n matches the paperwork

Hello, what do you mean by Bracelet ends screws?

I'm meeting the seller in the morrow, we'll go and show the watch to Breitling Paris. Hope Breitling can certificate it without sending it to Switzerland.

Post subject:  Re: SuperOcean

Here are other pictures. Feels like they're still small though!
I'm expectig bigger pictures.
What do you think about this watch? is it worth buying ?

Pretty sure from that last one that it's real, just check that the serial numbers match between watch and papers.

The screws that hold the braclet links together should be flat like this

most of the fakes have rounded screws which give it away again this is a genuine one

and a fake

look how easy they are to spot now you know what your'e looking for

Image

Its the most common give away of a fake and you are most likely to have a fake watch on a fake bracelet although its not a 100% given

Thank you Sonyman for the info.

Here are larger pictures from the seller (too large this time I think hehe)

One quick question, is the little 'B' marked on the bezel (between 11 and 12) required to be real?
Thank you all.
