It's a gen Chrono Avenger on a pro 2 bracelet. The entire watch is titanium so it's definitely more dull than a stainless. I don't know if it's actually brushed, it's more like the raw finish of titanium. But I guess I don't know much about titanium. Maybe that is brushed.

After hanging around this forum I would be scared to death to pay big bucks for an expensive used watch on a web site deal. With reps fooling jewlers how would you know it was really a gen?
1) buy from an AD or trusted second hand site
2) if unsure, pop the back open and have a jeweller authenticate it.

This is where my other point comes into play. If there is ever a situation in which you're buying second hand from a non AD source, always meet in person at an AD to authenticate before handing cash over.

If you know the watch well enough, and the reps aren't quite up to super, like the Breitling Chrono Avenger, you can tell from images.
If you buy from eBay, using Paypal, Paypal will refund you if you thought you were buying a gen but got a rep.
I haven't tried this, but would go for it if things fell into place, and then I'd take the watch to a watchsmith and have it checked within the 14 days (I think) you have from Paypal.

Yeah eBay is pretty good about refunding the buyer. With that in mind, I'm wondering what the percentage of people that actually check their purchases for authenticity are.

Looks like all the other models of this watch here. Would the vendor even know if an employee snuck a rep into the stock they are selling?

If you are wondering about that model you should post something in the Rolex board. This thread isn't the best outlet

No the discussion was about my concern about buying a gen from a web site. The Ebay add is just for example. Could you really tell it was a gen before sending the money?
For the most part yes. But could you move this to another post ?
