Look at the indices. Your's are thinner than those on Oscar's. Unless Breitling did two different versions of indices on the same watch, I'm going to call yet another fake. I hate that douchebag. He is an abomination to watch collecting, watch forums and humans in general.

Paul maybe you should PM the seller and have him take it some were to be checked out that way he don't trade a fake if it is.Would ruin his reputation if it is fake also would proof it mite be real.If it has a chinese movement then he will know.

Woops maybe it is real, looks like there was a second version of that dial:

Either way, I think I'd rather have a fake one than Oscar's old one. At least then I know it's fake and not have to worry if a psychopath has defrauded me.

every watch -- -same pose, same sunlight
i think he waited for a sunny day in northeast Ohio and called 30 watch friends over, then took wrist shots with their watches - one after the other...

Yeah, I'm not good enough to spot a fake or not on this one. If it is a fake, it's a pretty good one. I just thought it was funny (stupid?) to use one of Oscar's pics in a sales post.. I did think the indices looked fake, but who knows

Indices sure look thicker than the ones on my wrist, bought at an AD.

Looks fake. Look at the paint on the second hand as well as the spacing and writing on the dial. The tail on the S of superocean is different.

Yep, look at the tail on the s in superocean. On the first its straight and flat. On Paul's its got some contour and thickness.

I would pay $50 just to see Oscar attempt such a thing, Paul.

Hell, I'd take leave and drive to Ohio, pick him up, take him to the airport and buy him a ticket to wherever Paul is, so Oscar can tell him to his face what he really thinks.
I think a man's honor is an important thing. No reason why Oscar shouldn't have the chance to tell Paul face to face what he really thinks.
I would gladly come along as a witness, maybe take pictures, I'd even pay for beers and show Oscar how to quickly stablize long bone injuries. You know, be supportive.

Will there be cowering involved? If so, I want to be in his presence...book an extra ticket!

I PM'd the guy on WUS. He read the message, but did not reply. Looks like the post is still up.. strange. You would think he would say
something, no? Either tell me to step off that his watch was the real deal, or remove the thread if he wasn't sure...
