Here's my report: "Has the typical telltales of the known fake copy of the Breitling Superocean 42 model ref A17364 : - Poorly applied lume markers on the dial ring. The lume should be neat squares, not inconsistent blobs - Appears to have same serial number range as the fake version, 1342xxx. But seller has deliberately obscured the s/n (The fakes have unique serial numbers but only the last 3 digits vary) - The bezel numerals are incorrect, excessive rounded corners of the digits, especially the inner corners of the '60' |

Thanks for clearing that up. I originally had A17360 instead of 17364. |

If we're willing to pay 40 bucks he'll open the machine and show us the inside! That's a great deal! |

Reported also, but in the process doing that I noticed something strange at this watch. Either there is a new fake around, or the owner has been creative with Photoshop, as the 60 is different in comparison to the other fakes. However the 30 is still the same and the other tell tales are also present. Check this;  The 60 seems not completely paralel with the outer edge of the bezel, as there is a bit more spacing at the left as on the right. So if I should make a guess, I think the picture is altered. |

Never mind, I've found out the truth already myself. He altered the 60 on the dial picture to make it look more genuine, but forgot to do the same with the strap picture were also the 60 is visible.  So its just a nasty person, who is trying to make someone believe that a fake watch is genuine. |
