| Post subject: | 201S Ocean Racer fake? |
I just purchased this item from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AQ ... UTF8&psc=1 While it says it's sold by Breitling, the package certainly wasn't postmarked from any company (came from: A. Kavak in Ludlow MA). The 24-20 blue rubber (feels like silicone) straps are marked "201S" not "205S" I thought 201 was only black and 205 was only blue, but I'm not certain. Did I just buy a fake product? Thanks in advance! |

What was the price? Pics of yours front and back? The link says its sold out/no price and no back side photos so not much to go by... |

The price was $245. Looks like I bought the last one (it said "last one") when I got it. The back side looks exactly like my authentic black ocean racer. It says "BREITLING" and below that "24-20" and "201S" as you can see in the pic below. The question is whether 201S refers ONLY to the black version of the Ocean Racer or not. If so, then this is obviously fake. I can't find any definitive evidence that indicates 201=black, 205=blue and the two do not mix... Attachment: IMG_0077.jpg

Did it come with the clasp for that price? The straps are under $100 direct from Breitling. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk |

Attachment: IMG_0077.jpg As natesen mentioned the safest and oddly maybe cheapest place to buy is from Breitling sometimes...although I can't find either 201 or 205 on the website. Everything else comes up as 205S for blue...and its marked 201... I think I'd take advantage of Amazon's return policy and start over on that one. https://www.breitling.com/us-en/straps/ ... %5Bref%5D= |
