[Question] is it wise to buy a breguet online? (alien.top)

I’ve been eyeing a breguet classique on ebay with box and papers, but the owner wont share pics of the papers to match the serial number and store location. Having never owned a breguet, here are some questions:

  1. Are there super clones of breguet classique watches? If so how good can they be? Breguet watches have a lot of details that I assume super fakes can’t copy.

  2. how do you authenticate a breguet? What are some question I should be asking the seller given they wont share pics of the serial number and papers for privacy reasons?

  3. how trustworthy/ reliable is ebay authentication?

  4. how often do you have to service breguets? How much would an average service cost?

Depends the source… private seller? No unless chrono24 with escrow service. eBay? Only with Authentication service…
