Hi,, the watch strap looks wrong on this, I wondered what you think? he only has 2 previous transactions, and I asked a list of detailed questions, no reply. I won't be bidding. However I wondered what you folks thought?

regards

Martin

I don't think there's ever been a decent fake of the E, has there?

Correct. The watch is 100% real

Thanks, I guess it's titanium? I'm never sure which emergencys are titanium and which are stainless.

But rather a mess if there's no box or papers, ownership transfer, tester, etc, etc

100% genuine.

This is the watch which first attracted me to this brand - wandering past a shop in Basel, Switzerland - it has a lot to answer for!

A grand? Go for it!

thanks, yes it's cheap! But very hard to re-sell, no box / briefcase, papers, tester, dvd, ownership transfer form etc.

Is it titanium do you think?

Depends whether you're buying the watch or the 'package'. You could always add to the ownership experience by sourcing the missing bits during your ownership period - and enjoy it meanwhile.

Yes - titanium. Aviation wonder metal - as they say.

I have a Titanium Aerospace - looks as good today as the day I bought it around ten years ago.

On the face of it, it looks like a bargain at £1000, but i'm always worried about sellers who post one or two photos when you could have twelve for free. It staggers me how a £1K watch can be described in 15 words ! Very easy to resell I would think, If, as the seller states, it has had a Breitling Service recently. Breitling will have a record of this as the serial number is on the photo.

OP edited his post to remove the link, although he said he won't bid on it; sorry, but that's just not fair, could have posted some pics at least.
