This is a limited edition watch, right? Condition looked brand new, even the rear case sticker was still there (although I thought that the Breitling rear sticker was a clear one with no red line). I would check very carefully. You need to ask yourself :
1) How is the price like? (too low to be true?);
2) If this was a brand new collector's item, then how come the LE box was not there? (even if it was placed in the winder over time, there should be some marks on the rubber strap too).
In the pre-owned market, you would buy the seller first, not the watch. Ask for his business card and check on the authenticity. Or spend some monies for the AD's verification. When in doubt, walk away. Do tell how this goes.

Looks brand new and looks good from the photos...but for 100% sure spend some bucks for verification :thumbsup:
-
looks good to me too :) best to send in for verification for peace of mind since no box/paper :)
-
Plenty of good fakes/replicas in the market now, selling for between RM500-1000. Best to send it in to a SC to verify if you are paying over RM10k for it!
-
Perfect unused condition with no box and paper? :Blue:
-
Yeah, nowadays the fakes are hard to tell.
Just the other day, a friend bought a fake Rolex for RM 280, looks like the real deal, unless you know where to look. Even comes with ceramic bezel too.

As Andy said if the price is too good to be true, then i would advice you to stay away unless you could have the watch verified by SC.....

We can't tell by just looking at the photos. Better to send to Breitling service centre to verify. Good luck.

There's a guy selling fakes/replicas from Facebook account out of Penang... I think he uses internet pictures of genuine watches (Rolex, Pam, Breitling, Omega, Tag, etc) to promote his stuff. But if his wares are as good as the pictures shown, it would be difficult to tell they are replicas by most people. :o

pre owned, without box & papers, still can be accepted as past owners might lost it
brand new, limited edition, without box & papers, not convincing
-
Thanks for the help guys :thumbsup:
I've decided to pass on this one as seller unable to provide more info for the watch.

Thats the thing. Those not in the know surely will get cheated.
The only way about these type of fakes are to open the caseback and look at the movement.

Arrange to deal at authorized service center for verification .... if seller not willing means con men. even if it's real possible stolen one.
-
Problem is i found it in international market. Seller agree to verify it once i make payment :-\ so i think is better to pass it.
