I'm not sure with this one. Did they make this watch with yellow hands? Also in the item specifics they state that it is a quartz movement.

Can't be sure with photo like that.
There's a decent rep of this model.

Without papers, it's caveat emptor.

I noticed this one as I've been looking for a code yellow for a while now.

This is a fake (pretty sure at least). The case back should say 'Edition Limitee XXX/1000'. His pictures show a standard Avenger case back.

This plus no boxes and papers = stay away.

My call is fake:

- 2210xxx is a known serial number range for fakes of this model
- The stamping on the bracelet clasp is poor quality, note how indented the "1884" is.

Reported

Edit: Same guy is offering it here for $225?:

http://breitling-watches.net/breitling- ... and-watch/

Found a real Code Yellow LE to compare. Entire sec hand should be pained yellow, the 1 digits on bezel are wrong and, as mboverst said, should have LE numbering on back:

100% fake. I've also found a replica site selling this LE and it contains exactly the same inconsistencies.

Please get reporting guys :guns:

Looking at the feedback, it seems the buyer found out in time though
