Looks like numbers all match. That would work for me.

Hello all I am new to Breitlings and am thinking of purchasing a used Blacksteel Avenger Skyland. Model M13380. I know there are a ton of fakes out there , including boxes and papers, so I just wanted to post a few pictures and see if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks ahead of time for any help you can offer. |

Based on the lume, probably real, but the fakes are very good so make sure that watch and papers match. |

Looks ok to me too, but papers are important for this one. There aren't good fake papers so if you have a picture of the full package with papers that would be good. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk |

Also since I am so new to this, I would like to get an opinion of a ballpark average these are going for. I know prices are subjective and people will pay anything for what they want, so I just want the range you would be willing to pay for this watch in excellent condition. |

Check out chrono24, will give you a good idea. |

As Nate says, the papers are real so just make sure that the serial numbers match. The FAQs recommend checking completed sales on eBay (the green numbers in a completed search) and dealer asking prices on Chrono24, recognising that thoe are only asking prices. |

Check also the back of the watch; I noticed recently, that (some?) fakes, have a R with a straight leg, while a genuine one has an R with a bent leg. Roffensian wrote: checking completed sales on eBay That's the most important thing. Don't be fooled by a 100% score, as most of the transactions can be buys. Always check the detailed feedback, for sales. Prices on Ebay can sometimes end a bit on the high side, because (usually new) people get into a bidding war. I've seen prices on Ebay gone way beyond Chrono24 dealer asking prices. So take your time to find out a normal average price of the model you desire. |

Okay guys thanks for the advice. Now maybe this is a rookie question but what #s am I matching? The production numbers or serial #? Where is the serial # on the watch because I do not see it? |

The seller claims he has keep this as a collectors piece and this is a picture of the back. |

You are trying to match serial number in the warranty book (the printed / written number, not the punched one), the COSC certificate (top right) and the watch. The serial number on the watch is on the caseback, generally below the model number and / or LE number. It will be lightly engraved. edit, you can see it (but not read it) on the photo that you just posted - at a guess it's 2354963. |
