I'm currently wearing my Abyss as I'm reading this thread, and I couldnt even spot there was anything wrong within the photos. Not until I read all your comments on what was wrong. Only then, after even more studying was I able to see some of the issue you pointed out. I still can't see them all, even with my own on my wrist. It's amazing what you all can see. Respect to all of you.

Watch returned to seller today and got a full refund. He is now chasing up the person that sold it to him (dealer in dubai).

Very valuable lesson learnt by me and thankfully not an expensive one.

Of course massive thanks to everyone for help and BreitlingSource! :lingsrock:

Apart from the lume blobs, another tell (depending on picture quality) is the Wings logo.

The replica has a shiny relief, plus shiny 'base'

The genuine has shiny relief, but matte 'base'
