Hello,

This moddel looks like a Breitling SuperOcean Heritage Chronographe, model A1332033/Q553.
Price around 3600€ in Europe.

For more information on this model, please have a look here:

I normally like to stick my nose in here from time to time, but there are some pretty good SOH fakes...so, no comment. Buyer beware. Buy the seller, then the watch.

same advice from me. buy the seller and the hopefully impeccable documentation, SOH replicas are frighteningly accurate.

Thanks guys. How accurate/ spot- able is the paper work with the fakes? The seller tells me he has all boxes and papers. Do the fakes generally come with worked up boxes and papers?

Impossible to tell from that photo, need to see a shot of the back of the watch showing the crown area.

Generally fake papers can be spotted, but don't rely on it.

The old replica had the wrong date font but the new model is spot on.

I have never seen fake papers other than a COSC certificate so if the warranty book s/n matches the watch, I would be satisfied.

v3 has correct ref#, but "specale" instead of "speciale" is written on the caseback.

If the fakers made one that had it spelled correctly, what else would give it away?

The "B" logo is marginally too far to the right (closer to the date window) but we're talking microns rather than mm!

They made it that way on purpose.
