Saw this on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREITLING-Chr ... 4165326408

What rings the alarm bells is that the box and papers were lost during a house move (really careless), but the main thing is the bezel; I thought the solid gold bezels always had steel rider tabs rather than gold ones as here for the steel/gold models? Also the pushpieces are gold as well which I don't think is right.

Also the strap buckle doesn't appear to have the Breitling logo stamped on it, also the strap itself doesn't look a genuine Breitling one either. And that the photos don't allow a close look.

Over to our experts; please take the necessary action!

Looks perfectly correct to me. Strap issue, well it's just a strap and he says it's a replacement.
