Here is another one, although I am pretty sure this one is the real deal, would love to hear some input on it, cause I can easily be wrong.

The inside of the deployment clasp says ACIERINOX. One of the pins that hold the bracelet is missing, do you think Breitling carries them still or should I be looking for one somewhere online. If it is the real deal watch I am thinking of sending it in for an overhaul. Please excuse my horrible picture skills, the piece looks way nicer and cleaner in real life.

As ade113 says, it's real. Not sure that Breitling still has the pins, but certainly worth asking.

Thought I'd post an update for the curious/interested ;-)

Piece is at Breitling, as expected, they recommend an overhaul, then they are saying the crystal was scratched and crown was broken and they recommend replacement, I hope I can trust their honesty and authorized them to do all of the above (It is alot of money for this watch, but hey, I am in hopes it's gonna look and work like a champ later, either I decide to keep or sell it).

Here is what they quoted:
230.08 O Cambered sapphire crystal glareproofed both sides 152.10
150.409 R Crown steel 1 25.20
400.Z403 R Hands H/M/Swp Gold, Rec Blue 1 75.60
CS-D13050 R D13050 Complete Service Kit 1 530.00


Based on your experience with BUSA, are they usually honest about what needs to be done, or do they try to upsell you to make a few (or more than few) bucks?

Breitling doesn't recommend servicing that isn't necessary.

That is what I thought, that's why I gave them the OK to do it. I do appreciate your confirmation.
