When I went to pick up my B-2 at my AD earlier this week I also had a lood at a nice Superocean with the SS bracelet.
Asked to see the SO up close as it interests me and was actually horrified to see that the safety lock on the bracelet (the piece with the wings) had been badly ground on the back as the wings had been pressed in to deep.
Told my AD that this is a common sign with "replicas" but he assured me this one was the real thing, even showed me the invoice from Breitling for it (serialn° matched).
All the other telltale indicators are correct on this SO.
I can't imagine how it passed QC, one less sure "replica" indicator.
Has anyone ever come across any other ones at the AD's? or is this a fluke?
Next time visit him I'll try to take my camera as well...

Maybe I am wrong about the year.
It is actually identical to the one in the Youtube film mentioend in the packaging discussion elsewhere on this forum..
