The SOH is arguably the best Breitling replica made but as the COSC, and I assume warranty book, match the serial on the case back, I'd be confident it's real.

No doubt! Every tell isn't there. Congrats on a great watch!

Thank you for reply. But some things are strange to me:
1) The silver indicators on 12, 1, 2, 3 and 4 o'clock are not in central position.
2) is a small scratch on the inside between the tenth time a sign of B.
Have you ever seen something like this?
Should I go to AD and complain (use guarantee)?

Didn't notice that before as well as lume on 1 o'clock.
Looks a bit off.
Did you buy it from an AD?
Is the warranty fully valid?

I bought it in shop which is Breitling retailer. It is on Breitling.com (http://www.breitling.com/en/intro.html# ... rs/europe/)
I bought it just week ago. I have not checked whether the warranty is valid. But the seller has fulfilled all on the last page of the warranty book.
:(

Check if the warranty is punctured and have a stamp or retailers signature.
Also check if the serials match.
I wouldn't be happy with batons off like that.
Could you possibly take a more clear shot of the dial?

I didn't see that either. However the tell-tale usual signs of a fake aren't here on this one in my opinion. Possibly a factory defect? Maybe a camera illusion? Would love to see some more pics of the watch and the paperwork as well.

Yes warranty is punctured and have a stamp and retailers signature on it. Serial in warranty and on the watch is the same (seller wrote it by pen on the last page in warranty book where is also punctured country and shop name where I bought it.
This is the best photos I can make:

QC issue, but on new photos it doesn't look that bad.

Of course the choice is yours but it's definitely not right and it's under warranty so I would talk to the AD about it.
