The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Very interested in a watch for sale on eBay. It has a Mother of Pearl face which I know is aftermarket and diamonds in the place of the numerals..pretty cool looking IMO. I know to be careful on eBay and will have it checked out by an AD before purchase and have a local friend to handle the transaction. Just wanted to put the link and get the experts input on this watch. It has certificate, box, case, etc..but im still a bit hesitant. Any specific items that tell a good fake apart? Check it out and give me some much appreciated input.

Neither the dial, nor bezel are facroty. Guy says he purchased in 2009, making the Pro II bracelet, properly placed, but the box is way off (By about a decade).
Even if it started out as such, it's not a Breitling anymore! haha

Impossible to say. Replacement dial/bezel so no way of telling from the usual SA checks.

COSC looks real but you need a case back shot to show the s/n on the watch matches.

No sign of a warranty book.

Box is real.

Any paperwork to authenticate the diamonds?

IMHO, high risk for a high value item. I would want ALL paperwork/receipts clearly shown before considering purchase.

Is it just me or does that dial look really small. I know it's aftermarket, but it looks weird to me.

The dial looks more like a Chronomat Evo dial...but the pushers and crown look like the SA ones...I am confused on this one.

Yeah, it looks like they put an Evo dial on a SA, there was another one floating around here not too long ago, but that thing was covered in diamonds.

To the OP, keep in mind that if you did buy this and sent it to Breitling for service they may make you pay to put it back in it's original condition before performing any service on it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I've read that on here a couple of times. If you're not worried about ever having it serviced by Breitling then you have nothing to worry about, but if it were me I'd just find a SA with an OEM diamond bezel, I might pay more but it would be worth it to me. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

As I stated in his other post (stop double posting) the baton style SA never came with this box style I dont believe. Also stated above!

Might be real, but dial (fake Chronomat) is total crap.
It will be removed on first Breitling service.
I wouldn't buy it.
Member FEAR is selling his white Arabics SA with OEM diamonds + some extras for 5k.
