Hope I'm in the right place... but, I am trying to buy this Breitling Super Avenger...

I looked at MANY pictures of fakes (from your site) and this one LOOKS like either an original, OR, a REALLY good fake... I can't tell ...

Help !!! the price is "too good" and that usually means something is not ok ...

:welcome:

This is the 44mm Avenger Skyland Blacksteel, not the 48mm Super Avenger. Easy way to tell without a case back shot showing model ref is the SA doesn't have the 5/10/20 etc markings on the bezel.

Looking the the shape of the 1 in the 15 rider tab, I would say this is fake.

Ask the seller dial and caseback closeup photos.

they are selling it for 500euros (650-670$) ... and it comes without an arm attached to it ...

I see the difference on the rider nr. "1" ... it is a slight difference, hard to tell... it is definitely one of the BETTER replicas out there if it's fake.

For 500 Euros, it's a fake for sure.

I must say I would never have spotted the fakery (though I would certainly have inferred fakery from the price!)

agree... I looked for all the "usual" stuff ! Looked VERY very close to the actual item ... from the price it could CERTAINLY be inferred but, then again, I have a friend who got a Navitimer (verified @ dealer) for 1200euro-1500$ ... and an Omega Seamaster for 700euro (also verified)

I thought, hmmm, maybe it's my lucky day
