Hi

I’m confused by this Breitling Longitude on ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Breitling-A2034 ... 20df171b2e

I was under the impression that the A20348 did not come with dial colors. The dial suggests that it is an A20048, but the case back is that of an COSC certified A20348. Was there some transition period between these two models when the COSC came into play? Is it a real one and someone has put a new case back on it? Is it fake?

What do you think?

Its real and that model came in a lot of dial colours ( yellow, red, black and others) and the COSC doesnt surprise me either ?

Yeah, the A20048 came in a lot of colors, but not the A20348?

Or did they start sticking that case back on everything when they started with the COSC cert? I'm just curious.

Yes. I agree. But still curious if anyone knows how they did with the case back during this transition. All A20348 I have seen previously look different. They have a different dial, different hands and so on. Here's and example comparing the two: http://www.sometimeago.com/what-a-watch ... longitude/

I just didn't know that they kept the old version of the longitude with the COSC case back.

Transitional piece, nothing remarkable or concerning for me.
