CWW and IMPROVIZ-
I am neighbors with Mbenz06, i have known him for years, i went to high school with him, and we are good friends. You guys are both taking this way too far.
First of all, the watch is authentic. I was there when he purchased it from Tourneau in South Coast Plaza Mall in Costa Mesa, CA

Now, having said that, he DID, in a PM to me, send me pics of the caseback with the model number unblurred, and it is correct for the model of the watch. Which is great, but as I said, the fakes of the CE are so good that I'd recommend ONLY buying one when its authenticity can be verified before purchase, or purchase can be done with some way to recover funds if watch turnes out to be fake. And that is NOT exclusive to this one, it's a piece of advice to anyone purchasing ANY watch online.
Lastly, It is frustrating for me, and it isn't even my watch! I know it is real. You guys are being ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if both of you are attorneys jeeeezus. If you think it is fake, don't buy it. If you think hes worn it more than a "couple times" who cares. I understand there are alot of scammers out there, but there is no reason to label Mbenz06 as such.

First off, Thank you Entizy for your post.
Sorry bro but how big of a cabby are you. Improviz makes a statement and you jump all over it. I reply with more pics and answers you apologize. Improviz brings up more points you jump right back into it. Then Entizy posts and you say you're gonna drop it again... Improviz's replied again so you aren't going to give your 2cents??![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
Think for yourself...
Didn't know how to utilize the cameras macro feature. I wanted to blurr out the model info. My decision not yours. Sent you a pm and you received it so why keep bringing it up model #?
If you want to buy it, lets meet up. If not, you made your point, now move on.
Add mother of pearl, over 1ct in diamonds and maybe that'll raise the price up a bit no? Stop saying this watch is overpriced when you have no idea what you are talking about.
The watch is scratched. I wear it, it is used, scratches come out.
I am pretty sure no one cares about this anymore. I dont need to sell this but if anyone wants it, feel free to PM me.

Good for you. But that doesn't change the fact that he posted incredibly cheezy pictures of the watch, that in those pics it looked very much like a counterfeit, that he was blurring out the model info on the watch and papers, etc....and plus, stuff like this happens all the time, why *shouldn't* we be looking at things with a jaundiced eye?
I believe in the beauty of capitalism, just as I believe in the beauty of freedom of information, and freedom of speech. And the thing is this: if someone's asking a price for a watch that's two years old, scratched up, when one can get a brand new one for the same price, or a bit more (SS Pilot band would add $500, putting it at $10,600 brand spanking new), then guess what? People are going to point this out, just as they will point it out if someone tries to sell an E55 for 30-50% more than it's worth. ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

Another poster and me said it looked fake before Improviz ever chimed in. I actually posted before he did. He then posted on the topic, because he obviously knows a lot more about Breitlings. And while I definitely agreed with his assessments, I'm not understanding how you're calling me out for taking orders from him, when I had already said it looked fake before he even posted.
So I guess I called Miss Cleo or something to figure out what he would say before he said it? LOL. You make no sense, man, I posted before he did!
Then you swore it was real, so I let it drop. That is, until you posted more pics, that blurred out all the useable information. So I posted again, pointing out that you were doing more harm than good by blurring out all the model and serial numbers. Which is entirely correct, btw. There is no point blurring out a model number on a watch.
So...yeah. Your timeline is a little "off".

Gorgeous UN! I have been eyeing that annual calendar as I have had a Blue Wave and a Blue Surf. I would also like to have a Freak someday but service issues/costs have kept me at bay. I just got done servicing a time only Roger Dubuis for $1,600 and I can't imagine what a Freak service would cost.
![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
BTW, Is it just me or is high-end watch service getting progressively crappier and the prices absolutely stupid?! Everyone pushes for the exclusivity of in-house movements in high-end watches. I love my megabuck pieces with boring old elaborated Valjoux and ETA movements as any good watch maker can service them for well under $500. None of this go back to factory service for 12 weeks nonsense. Sorry, couldn't resist the rant as I was just emailing about another watch that has been in for service for 6 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I wonder how many members here frequent TZ and Watchnet?

and no, it's not just you...you're absolutely correct about quality and prices on factory servicing for exclusive/in house movements.
i don't frequent tz or watchnet as much as i used to but i still check in once in a while.

There are a few watches out there that hold their value thsi well...yours is not one of them.
That's not the point. The point is your claiming to have worn it "only a few times", which imo is

Good luck finding someone dumb enough to pay $800 less for a used one than they could pay for a brand new one.
