I always believed that the Omega SMP's (all models) didn't have AR. However after reading this I'm not so sure....

I have never witnessed AR on any SMP before at the AD's. I seem to remember seeing reflections on the crystal, and no evidence of a blue hue like the Planet Ocean
There was a topic on this a month or so ago. Can't remember what it was called but use the search function, has a list of all the most accurate ones out there.

In the Watch repairs and upgrade section there is a post about an 'AR Run'
Currently the first batch has just been sent for a double AR coating. If it is successful, there will be a second batch sometime in the future, keep your eyes peeled!
It's very unlikely they will bring out another thats going to be better than this in the near future. If you want a Bentley, I'd go for the ones that are curently available.
I'm going to buy the Black dial based on the pictures.
I have a white BCE, so don't want another white dial. If I didn't already have a white dial, my preference would be to buy the Steelfish in white, black then blue.
Sorry I totally mis-interpreted the post. I thought that you were looking to buy a replica of the watch, not that you were thinking of buying the watch in picture and was wondering if it was a replica. (if that makes sense)
Like Chronomat says its a almost certainly a genune! A nice buy for someone out there!
And talking of picky flaws can you please let me know if the silver date window surround is the same thickness.
I don't know if it's the pictures I keep seeing but it looks slightly thicker on the rep? Certainly something I will live with, but just so i know!
And finding one would be very difficult too!
Some of the movements Breitling use are based around the Valjoux 7750 movement, so I would think a gen datewheel would fit in there.
Certainly pays to be that extra bit patient with cases like this. Once names are thrown around, mud can stick, you were very sensible in waiting a bit longer.
I'm glad you got a resolve!
It looks very much like Chronomat from that picture. It's not the newer Evolution (which has been replicated) but the older version. Closest you will get to that is the new BCE.
There are probably quartz replica's of this watch but nothing like the new BCE!
This is the gen that I think it might be......
