Hey I posted here a couple weeks ago about a Breitling Superocean II. I just received it, and here are some photos. Can you verify if its real? (Just in case she sent me a different one, because I get really suspicious) I already ran through some of the replica vs real points like (design/weight/bracelet) but what other ways can you verify its authenicity? The serial numbers match, but couldn't anyone just take the serial number off the bottom of a watch and put it on a replica one.

How old is this watch?
Can you remove the strap at 6 and take a picture between the lugs?

I don't know how to remove the strap. But I'm just skeptical.

It may just the photography, but the bevel angle of the inner yellow ring looks flat compared to a picture of a real one. Also, the 6 on the bezel looks fatter, but again, a couple of the pictures seem needlessly distorted, and it may just be an artifact of that. My advice is to take it to a Breitling dealer in your area and let a professional make a comparison.

Go over to the Breitling Source website. They have some good guys that can help you under the Replica Identification section of the forums. They helped me buy a Chrono Avenger and replied quickly.
