The Breitling Watch Source Forums :: View topic - ENDED: Questionable Avenger Blacksteel

I agree with you about the lume. Compared to mine (not the same, baton dial) it looks a little off. That said, that's all I can see. I am no where near the eye of the grand masters. Wait for Bnewbie. :bow:

It's fake. If you could see it up close and handle it you would see that the bezel stamping is pretty unrefined too.

Reported as "'Quality' fake with off centre and low quality lume markings."

I'd noticed this one also for sale on a Rolex forum of the same seller.
If its not on purpose, its a very sloppy mistake.

The tekst on the back is also a giveaway.
The real one has for example an R with a bent leg, and the fake one has a straight leg.

Take a look at this avenger blacksteel. The lume dots look extremely sloppy which is always a red flag on these avenger models. I also think it is intentional that there are no warranty papers or COSC docs to match the serial # to. Any other tells on this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Breitling-AVENG ... 35d304cdab

Wait for Bnewbie. Yeah, this one is tough because the fake is pretty good. I haven't seen a genuine ever with lume dots and the outline surrounding them this bad ever. And I think someone was trying to pull a fast one on somebody by having an authentic box and the manual, basically anything that doesn't show a serial # since fake papers never look right.

Yeap, definitely fake with those off-centre lume markers. Reported

Somewhat surprised by who the seller is, he is highly respected on several other watch forums!!

And guaranteed it as authentic. Maybe he'd been taken in.

He pulled it off ebay because I told him I was fake and he was going to look into it. I hope he doesn't sell it on a forum to someone who will be in for an unpleasant surprise when it comes time for breitling to service the watch.....
