Just as it says, I am always leery of purchasing an authentic time piece from Ebay and was lurking hoping to grab one from the classifieds here but nothing has hit my budget/eye just right until I missed out on a SuperOcean last week!!
Please tell me this is real and a good buy!
As always thanks in advance! :bow:

looks ok, but standard advice on these is "only with matching papers".
seller claims to have them, but does not show them - you should be safe w/ a potential pp claim if anything does not add up.

Definitely wouldn't want to call it for sure on those photos - as Fred said, only with matching papers.

It looks ok to me. But as Fred and Roff have said, matching papers are important as there is a VERY good fake copy of this model.

I am no expert, but think he is good. In the body of the auction you can read the papers and the number match the serial number you can read in some of the pictures. He shows the receipt which checks out as an AD on the Breitling site and the papers have holes matching that AD. Also the seller has 100% feedback with several watch sales and happy customers. At the very least I don't think the seller is trying to deceive, but again I am by no means an expert.

Good luck and enjoy!

This one looks good to me, but as others have said there is a great fake of this model.
