Looks okay to me based on the quality of the lume markers but I can't be 100% sure. The fake copy of this model is very accurate so I would never consider buying one without the proper paperwork.

:yeahthat

This is one piece that should always be bought with matching papers. It looks alright from those photos but I wouldn't risk it if the papers aren't available.

Thanks for the input! It's freaky on how "real" the replicas can be. I got this picture from him as well. I got a few more spring serial numbers (however want sure if posting that is allowed our not). The serial number in the watch matches the stamped one in the warranty book and also the sticker on the back of the certificate.

If serial numbers match then you are OK.

So, I guess they can replicate everything on the watch but not the paperwork? I also called Breitling and gave them the serial number and they described the watch based on the serial. Thanks again for all the input. I really appreciate it.

I once had a question about a watch's authenticity and emailed Breitling with the SN. They were happy to confirm the model for me.

There are fake papers but the quality isn't very good and they are only for a couple of models. The papers for this are real.
