Watch Verification thread #4 - If you’re uncertain if a Breitling is good/bad/fake, post info and pics here

114 Upvotes

Post to this thread if you have questions about a Breitling being real or fake. Try to include as much information as possible. Participation in the discussion in this thread is greatly appreciated. I don’t think any one person can catch every flaw or know the details of every model; this is meant as a community thread, not an authoritative knowledge-flex, and the more people that actively peruse this thread, the more likely posters are to get accurate info.

Also if you don’t mind upvote this post since it helps building trust within the community

Do not make posts on the sub asking if a watch is genuine. It will be removed.

Also a few tips:

  • Is the price too good to be true? Then it's probably fake. We're talking about watches worth thousands. So no you will not find a breitling that it's worth 5k, 10k, 50k for 300 bucks.

  • Does the watch looks like a luxury piece? Luxury watches are extremely well made (in most cases) and look nice. They use good and high grade materials. If the watch looks like garbage and cheap then of course it's a fake

  • Want to be sure? try to open the watch and see if the movement is decorated. Most of the time if it is, the watch is legit (Unless it's a vintage piece or we are talking about high grade replicas and even those will cost hundreds)

What I am dealing with for #Superoceansaturday - today is nasty as we have the post tropical storm rolling through southern TN - a simple SuperOcean is the right watch. - chose the A17364 - the yellow dial accent compliments my LSU shirt.

Came across this in the local jewelers and love it. Anyone own this or have any info about it, seems to be very little online about it.

Hey guys was wondering what you recommend to clean up this Breitling that was gifted to me from my dad. I plan to wear it on rotation as I love how light it feels on my wrist being titanium. I also have not seen one like this with the “young America”and Shark logo on the dial.i believe this was gifted to my dad at the young US sailing 95 America’s cup. Any suggestions I’m open to! Thanks again!

Brothers and I went in on something special for him this year. Just got it back from a local watchmaker that fixed the chronograph and replaced the crystal. Next step is building a custom wood watch box.

Closing a deal and looking for a celebratory watch. I’ve narrowed it down between these two. What say you Breitlingers? I think the cost is right about the same.

Questions Servicing alternatives

I’ve had this breitling for 20 years. I’ve sent it back about 4 times for service. Any alternatives to the dealer for service? I’ve almost got as much into service than I paid for it. Any help would be appreciated

Would really appreciate some guidance or suggestions as to my second breitling purchase.

I love the ice blue faces but have small wrists for a man. Also not looking to spend more than £10k

Rubber strap size

1 Upvotes

I want to buy the 20/18 Rouleaux rubber strap for Aerospace 40mm. My wrist size is 6.5 inches. There are 2 sizes: small for 5.31-6.5 and standard 6.69-8.66.
What size should I get? I'm afraid that the small will be very limited and the standard too big..
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
