The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all
I recently bought a super ocean and am always petrified that it could be fake. I chcked the following when buying and just need advice on if there is anything else I should check.
1. Sapphire has blue tint
2. Logo on face very precise and detailed
3. Phosphorus on dials well laid and detailed, as is phosphorus on digits
4. Ditgit fonts on bezel, face and date correct (according to breitlingsource)
5. Detail on case cover and bracelet excellent.
6. Serial numbers on strap and case correct
7. Weighs exactly 99,7 grams (ex bracelet, as per source)
8. Has tiny Breitling logo stamped on side of bezel between 11 & 12 position.
9. Crown logo correct
10. Brush finish on bezel correct.
11. Screws in bezel correct

I did not check the movement as I am worried if I open the back I will break seal.

Everything checked under magnification
Is there anything else I should check or be aware of?

Thanks all
John

It's real.

Thank you Roff!

And from what I have read here it must be between a 2007 & 2009 model? It has the arrow pointer on the second hand

It could also be that Breitling put the newer style second hand when it was serviced.
