Looks gen but could easily be a franken. Bezel engraving looks good and the date wheel is nicely centered. Hard to tell with super avenger. Are you planning on buying?

i mean to be 110% sure , the date window is wrong and the b with wings looks wrong

more than a couple grand- it has matching paper, box, warranty card. Posted it on breitling source and they said it was a rep- You guys are the rep experts so I posted it here

FWIW the swing tags are a couple bucks, the boxes are available from Dealers all over ... and accompanying paperwork has been done for years, with perforations etc.

If you bought it through eBay and paid using paypal, then you will need to decide on what action to take yourself, but I know what I'd do.

Just check the logo. Can't tell from the photo if the anchor merges into the wings.

you dont even need to check that , the date window is the bigger and faster tell

Also, people who no longer want their associated items (yes, there are a few) or who have had their timepieces stolen, often sell the items - I have a full set for a Navitimer Fighters - including original receipt! In the case OF the Fighters though, even a blind person could tell the difference between the real deal and a fake

These are pics of a Gen.
Can you see the difference in the B or the wings? I can't.

Wings are the same- I took it to a watch smith and he said its the real deal/also went to my AD (who i have 2 other Lings from) he also said it looks good.
