Just saw this:

 

http://www.ebay.de/itm/AUTHENTIC-BREITLING-SUPEROCEAN-Automatic-Chronometer-WATCH-A17364-/390646974420?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item5af45fc7d4

 

Seller is passing it as gen, but it is rep. Why?

1. Bezel screws positioned at 10-20-30-40-50-60. Gens are at 5-15-25-35-45-55.

2. Lume is off. If you compare lume on the hands and on the stick markers, they are of different shade/colour. Moreover the inner tachy ring dots are dots, not squares - obvious flaw.

3. Caseback engravings not as deep as on the gen. Also the Breitling logo is off. Gen is simply beautiful are more detailed/crisp.

4. Rounded edges on the dial numbers. Gens have sharp edges and different nr. 4.

 

As a rep it is nice V2. But the seller is passing it as authentic timepiece without box and papers with stock rep rubber band. I asked him if he is aware that he is selling rep (as he has 657 positive feedbacks). I recommended him to visit local watchsmith for the confirmation. I will wait for his answer and if he will flame me or will not delete this, he will get reported.
