No papers, can't say it's real?
It's not like the seller is new to ebay.

I buy alot of watches off Fleabay. but if I were to drop the coin on a Breit, Rolo, Omega ect. it will come from an auth dealer.
No box,, No Papers, No telling if it's a real Breit. Nice piece nonetheless.
Be careful, if it's a copy $4k is alot to lose on a Japanese movement.

I'd almost guarantee it's a hijacked account. He's got a $15k watch up for bid, can't construct a halfway decent auction page, can't string a coherent sentence together and has no paperwork or anything other than a few half assed pictures.
Bingo!:D
I have the same watch and it is fake....... Just a scammer trying to make a buck on an idiot.

The dude has 15 feedback and NO seller feedback. You would be nuts. This is a scam, no doubt about it.

C'mon now Justin, he scams you and you get a fake watch, all the while, scamming him for your fake $4,000. Seems like a good trade to me. :D :D :D

I guess I'm just a rube, I can't see paying that for a watch. Although, it is a nice watch if you are trying to get it for a teenaged girl. It is a ladies watch, right?

Just out of curiosity, what is the point of having a 15K watch in this day and age of free, self time zone adjusting cell phones, $5 quartz accurate Timex's, and giant bank signs that also tell you the temp? To me all an expensive watch says about a person is "Hey look at me, I'm either rich or deeply in debt, but either way, I likely have a self confidece problem."

It's a mental defect I guess :D
As a collector of automatics I can say that the fascination of a mechanical piece that's 50+ years old can run like the day it was built is what interest me the most. Though I have never spent alot of money on any of my pieces I believe if I had the money to burn I would.
Here's a couple of new additions to the automatic collection.
Both Swiss ETA, Rado Left is a Voyager right Royal. The Rotating Anchor at the 12 adds to the neat~O factor. Neither one was expensive used but new Rado (http://www.rado.com/en/Collection/Original/Pages/default.aspx)watches are pretty high.

I tend to stay away from quartz watches. There's nothing special about a quartz movement.

This is definitely a new "SoCal" trend...Wearing big baller watches like the homies in the rap videos! Today it's all about the image. And hell, if you notice...most true wealthy guys don't where the fancy watches. :idea:

Okay, the collector fascination I can completely understand, since I have a garage full of motorcycles, Alfa Romeos and boat parts that I could have just as easily spent the money on extra mortgage payments or something.:D

i don't even own a watch.. or any expensive jewelery for that matter. i do have a wedding ring which is just a simple gold band.
A buddy of mine has a fake version of the Breitling that comes with the Bently. Even though it was a fake, it wast still like 3500. All of the diamonds are real, and it is a really nice watch. He has had it for like 3 years, and it is really pretty.

I was thinking that maybe he had a ring, but then he got a watch instead of the ring, and maybe now he needed to get a ring again so he was selling the watch. :idea:

In life, is it's too good to be true, it usually is. I'd consider reporting this guy to ebay's fraud patrol.

I know for sure it's fake. Nobody has a chronomat breitling with $3k diamond bezel and no papers.....
With all the bullshit going on with Ebay, they don't have time to police all this crap. He states right in his description that he has no papers and doesn't know it's value.
I just bought a few things on Ebay for halloween. Let me tell you, you have to be on your game when dealing with these guys. They will pull a fast one on you every chance they can.

TOTAL FAKE Look at the center pin that the hands attach to, it is black. The genuine ones for this model, and most Breitlings, is a stainless/ chrome looking one. This one probably uses an automatic movement but it will be a copy.
These sell for about 350$ online.

For 3, 4 or 5 grand I have balked on buying one of these for years. I bought the same one that is in the pic above with a white face for $200 and it has been the most reliable watch I own for 4 years now.:D
As long as this thing keeps working, I will keep wearing it.

If you want to sell it to him for a set amount maybe, on the phone, but I would never post it. Still needs to pay partial on site for a rating.
I really am not a big e-bayer, I am sure others know much more than I.
