When I compare it to this picture it doesn't look right, I could always be wrong (especially since I'm not a Breitling expert) but I can see some differences between the watch you posted and the one below (which isn't mine).

The 4s on the bezel do not look right.

it looks ok but if you're really uncomfortable you should call the seller over the phone & get as much info as possible along with the sellers guarantee of authenticity.

I take back the comment on the 4s - I took a look at my Steelfish last night.

But, the bezel, rider tabs, and bracelet just don't look right.
