poopypants Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ok, to add to the discussion and after 15 or so emails to Andrew, the version he has is basically the graphite/black model, but with a new datewheel... the problem i had with this model is that the outer part of the dial is supposed to be black. (meaning, black outer dial and graphite inner dial with black subdials, NOT full graphite with black subdials.) He also stated that this is the ONLY model he has and plans on selling... (for now) Josh, however, has the black/silver model. (which i have been informed is sold out.) so, the saga continues. PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphite version has a graphite rehaut. after reading the descriptions in the breit site, seems you are correct... i guess i assumed since the model had "black subdials" that it was the slate model... and honestly, i thought they were the same damn color... lol Andrews descriptions states that it is a Graphite dial with Black sub dials. the image above clearly shows the ENTIRE dial being "graphite" including the subdials.

OK, looking at Breitling Chronolog 08, page 45 and model "152": grey (or gray) dial - black Tachy ring, black subs - white "automatic" model "147": All graphite - red "automatic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mentalist Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 My new BCE TT arrived today. It is not the new version :-( Apparently the new DW version only comes in two models and mine ain't one of them. Nice watch but the crappy asian DW has taken away some of the enjoyment somewhat. What's a 'lello' DW and how do I get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a 'lello' DW and how do I get one? The LDW was a personal project undertaken by the member "Lello", he sucessfully made a number of DWs featuring the correct Breitling date font. I read somewhere though, that he stopped making them - for Breitling reps at least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxse Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Anyone have any info when this will be in stock again? I think Andrew is OOS on the All black one with the red "Automatic" lettering style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have a graphite one coming from Angus (Puretime). He confirmed that it was the one with the new dateweel. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender110 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 regarding this NEW updated evo. then case is INCORRECT when compared to V2or gen EVO. the mounting/case for the crystal is TOO low. the bezel mounts to the case, and the inner case protrudes just slightly where the crystal is mounted. on this one the crystal/case part fits flush or just about flush with the bezel.. casing the bezel tabs to be too high but is is also incorrect when compared to the v2 case or genuine EVO. this inner part should be ~1.5mm higher than bezel hieght.

Just got mine in today. Same black dial w/ silver subs. The bezel sits about 1mm below the case mount where the crystal begins, not flush. If you count the angle at which the case rises for the convex crystal, then yeah it's about 1.5mm. Looks good to me. What doesn't look good is... Why the hell can't these guys stop using their fingers to touch the hour markers and hands? I've got fingerprint marks on 3 of the hour markers. Must have been a monday assembly because the bezel markers 30 and 45 were reversed. I didn't catch it at first, but after resizing the bracelet and comparing pics, I was like "what the hell?". No biggie, just unscrew and switch. They never can seem to get the darn applied wings logo to line up with the letter T in BREITLING, like the gen. This is my third EVO and they have all been off to the right a little. This one fortunately not so much. Nice smudges on a couple of days on the datewheel. I won't show this watch off on the 1st of the month, it's got speckles. The dial isn't cut clean around the sub-dials on mine. You can see spotted bleed of the silver subs around the edges. Okay, so enough nit picking, it's a huge improvement over the last V2 graphite I bought. This is hands down the best EVO out of the box. The date wheel is FANTASTIC. It looks GEN from up to as close as a 10 inches away before you start to see little questionable details. I still don't think it looks as perfect as the Baume and Mercier Riviera XXL Black Dial on bracelet that I got. I can wear that one in the daylight with confidence. This EVO, I can't show too close. It'll be my night time watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good to me. my white dialed evo from this batch is defin. different. the crystal height to bezel height is TOO CLOSE. crystal edges of the case (the POLISHED ring area) should be 1.5mm higher. on mine it is same. no i have not fitted a gen bezel... as i CANNOT get this rep bezel off!!!!!! removed the screws, removed the tabs, still NO LUCK, tried masking off the case and prying up will a caseback knife.. NO LUCK this bezel must be pressed on with alot more tightness then any other rep! im gonna have to get a bezel remover and very slowly try and get this off... it went on right! so its gotta come off eventually....

elisiX Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 porsche356 had a genuine bezel fitted to his BCE - perhaps he can chime in here on who installed his and how it was done? Currently I have a V2 BCE Graphite w/ Lello DW and it is pretty much an ultimate rep. I was lucky enough to get a very good example with perfect tabs. (most tabs I see dont fill the gaps cut out for them in the bezel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
