Hi all,
I really need the help of the "great and mighty" of BreitlingSource.
I have today been offered one of these

http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... d_158.html

numbered ??/250
in yellow box, with punched but unwritten warranty card from Italy, and Chronometer Cert. (How can I check cert number to watch?)
The watch seems all OK?? but needs a bracelet clasp fastener on the Navi Bracelet.

1) How can I tell that it is definately Legit?

2) What sort of money should I look at paying?

I am definately interested in the watch but do not want to get spanked!!

All help greatly appreciated
Thanks
Neil.

There's no quality fake of this that I am aware of.

Check the seial number on the paperwork with the serial on the watch, and for peace of mind have an AD confirm the serial number with Breitling - for stolen rather than fake.

Value is very tough for these because they very rarely come to market.

Thanks Roff,
I have PM'd you on it.
There is no serial number written on the paperwork and the only numbers I could see were model number and LE number ??/250.

That should match the serial number on the watch.

Yes, but will likely be lighter than the LE number.
