Hey RWI! - This is my first post in quite some time and hope that the community is well!

I am currently looking to purchase this Gen Breitling Colt Ocean which is being labeled as genuine but wanted to hear the opinions of the professionals on RWI. I am linking the photos to this post. Please let me know your thoughts :)

That watch looks great in those pictures. Nice deep smokey sunburst and with good lacquered look. The only concern I would have is the AR coating. You can't tell from the lighting. If possible, get some pics in different lighting to see if hasn't been polished off and masked by the lighting. I bought a gen Galactic 41 from Govbergs 10 yrs ago which you couldn't tell from the lighting and even when I asked they said both sides of AR were present but sadly they were not and it was immediately apparent when opening the box. If polished off add add a couple hundred (or have them subtract if possible) to get a replacement crystal from Breitling who won't replace it without the base service as well since they opened the watch and removed the movement. I think it was $135 crystal and whatever the base service was for me, maybe $270 if I remember correctly. I'm going by my experience way back in 2015 so things might have changed.

And very important for the Breitling fans... Please post pictures if you get the watch. Love Arabic numeral dials.
