Hi friends,

Help me with this one, is it a real or fake Super Avenger ?

Bracelet looks "loose" in the links ?

Thanx :lingsrock:

If its a copy, it looks like a real good copy imo, all seems right - only what I notice is the bracelet....

There is a quality copy of the SA - would really want to see a large clear dial shot to be sure.

OK, how to spot that SA top quality copy ?

PS: For now I only have the pictures posted, will ask for further.

Looking at this one at Ebay (which should be the same model Super Avenger II):

http://www.ebay.de/itm/breitling-super- ... 4acf14e957

it seems like the inner dials have much more bold, white text on the one I wanted to verify compared to the one on Ebay ....

The eBay one is real, just a bit beaten up.

Same answer as before, I can't call it on those photos. The date font looks a bit weird, but could just be the photo, I just can't tell from those photos no matter how many times you ask!

Those look like two different watches in those first two pictures. Am I just not seeing the batons at 7 & 8 positions like in the second photo?

Yes it is two different watches, the second is just a watch original from Ebay, the first is the one I need to verify if real or fake, check this picture where watch is comparable (font looks bolder on the one of them in chronos etc).

As Roff said, there is a "fantastically" accurate fake of the SA out there, so I personally would be very VERY wary of buying an SA from anywhere other than an AD, or from a personally known source. You also want to make sure they have full paperwork, etc.... although I've heard of some fake manufacturers offering a specific serial number engraving service to match it to existing papers.

All in all, it's just not worth the gamble IMO. If you want an SA, buy one from an AD - with a discount and/or interest free credit, it's likely to be fairly cost effective, and priceless in terms of peace of mind.
