Avenger Blackbird authentic?

[Smpfan]

Guys, there‘s an offer about an Avenger Blackbird without box, papers and strap. I doubt it‘s gen but unsure. What do you think? IMOP the pearl is missing some depth and the red printing on the dial is pale and not as bright as the second hand.

Fake. Serial number does not match up in the Breitling database

Oh! O. K. Thought something like this. It is listed on the bay. I think i should report this to ebay.

Now I did a research for Breitling serials, too. You are right. The first 2 digits tell the week of manufacturing year and the digit #3 and #4 the year itself.
So this watch should have a production date of week 29 in year 2002. But in 2002 the Avenger Bkackbird was not present yet.

Here is the link to the offer:

The diamond on the second hand looks odd to me as well. It does not look like the lume on the diamond is centered.

This item still is online. The seller didn’t respond to my questions about the watch. Nor ebay removed this article from the listing.
