Hi out there! I've been on a garagesale and found an avenger seawolf titanium for a good price, and by good price i mean less than a used seiko, but it was without box and papers.

I have tried to look for it on the internet but cant find the dial it has. So my question to you is did Breitling ever make a seawolf with Bribon's logo/writting on it?

Here is some details:
- E17370
- Serial number engraved as-well!
- Tested the movement: +3sec/day aprox.
- Little b on the bezel
- Bracelet dated to week 48, 2001. (4801)
- Even has that "Breitling" smell

I have had 5 different Breitlings so i know how they feel, the problem with this one is that i cant find anything about the watch on the internet? Can anyone clarify? And can i get a certificate somewhere or somehow?

Looks perfectly real to me. There are countless limited editions / logo editions produced so if this was a special commission it's not that surprising that there wouldn't be anything out there about it. In terms of a "certificate", you can order a replacement COSC through Breitling, likely not any limited edition booklet (which didn't always come with them anyway).

And a quick Google suggests that Breitling did other Bribon logo editions, eg:

Thank you so much guys! TomP, i dont know how you found those on google, but trust me, i've been looking and googling for a while now.

Allright, i might go get the replacement COSC, otherwise i'm just going to use it as my everyday watch.. I know that it's not the most expensive watch in the world but i seriously got it for less than a snack! :D

Once more thanks fellas!

Must have been one hell of a garage sale ;-)

Congrats

I just typed 'Breitling Bribon' into Google, clicked 'Images' instead of 'Web', and scrolled down a bit. Ten seconds max!
