Hi,

In de past i owned a Breitling with a small "B" on the bezel of it. (see picture from the internet)
Now i have a new Superocean Heritage Chronograph without the "B" on it.

Is this kind of 'authenticity' -check finished by Breitling?

have a nice day

William

My Avenger II Seawolf has the B. It was purchased new from an AD on Dec 2016. Obviously, it is not a SuperO, but I could not imaging Breitling removing the B for one specific model. Weird. Maybe someone has some real incite here.

Did you buy from an AD?

It has never been on all models, it depends on the style of bezel.

I buy my Superocean Heritage Chronograph second hand (6 month's old) and have all the papers (electronic warranty card) from a AD here in town. Serial & warranty-card are both OK.

There is no 'B' on the bezel :shock:

And if you consider the style of bezel that's perfectly logical. It's not on Navitimer bezels for the same reason.

Hmm, if what you got with it is a warrenty card then I'd be concerned as it should be a warranty card.

I have had a Seawolf, Avenger chronograph in titanium, and an Avenger II GMT and they all had the little B in the bezel!
