windyzz Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 WOW it is a must to have !!!!! Just if I have money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windyzz Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Ummm.. I think the different that I spot in the rep compare to the Gen, is the Date is much to the right(the circle is like half circle in the rep), and the subdial in the position 9 i think its abit to the bottom(the gap in the 10 is not equal to the gap in here is the reference to the Gen skyland from Breitling.com Please correct me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 On Rubber strap though.....NOOOO this has to be on the pro 2 bracelet. Any ideas if this is going to be made.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 It is a very pretty watch. You have to wonder why anything would be off (the date window certainly is) when both rep and gen use a 7750 movement. Still can't wait to see one though. The ti Chrono Avenger is still one of my favorite watches and this one would be a very nice SS or PVD ( ) compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofSpeed Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 so much waiting... now i have to wait for V2.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Overall it looks very good, especially now that they're putting the correct looknig date font in, that really is the finishing touch for a Breitling. I'd rather have the correct datewheel, than a slightly off date window, never going to notice that on the wrist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I can live with the date window, but 2 months longer for the bracelet? C'mon, for real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 cant wait for the graphite dial to come out......................whew...... thank you guys for convincing me out of the gen several weeks ago. this one is passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch actual is ok. Thanks" Yeah right, believe it when I see it. That would make the second in a row to have wrong lume dots. ( Breit. Heritage chrono with extra lume dots at 3 and 9 ). Sorry not good enough. Anybody that buys now with these faults , is a real mug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elisiX Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 On RG one of the guys asked Josh about the date window.. supposedly this is a sample and not production. Josh assured him the DW will be correct on the production model. Brilliant news. Will jump on the black/blue for now. Would've liked to see the grey and SS.

Samurai Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Nice watch....but will wait for some kinda reviews before I decide on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hmm, Andrew has this listed at 44mm, breitling has it at 45mm. That would account for the date window being too outboard. Beyond that the watch looks awesome. The pearl isn't perfect, too much glass and not enough steel, but really not bad at all. Just wish I had some cash for this one right now, although I really wanted the ProII, so hopefully I'll be able to afford it by the time its released!

kokedose Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Just pulled the trigger and will up pics when it arrives. I am hoping that the production version doesn't have the half lume dot @ 3 but a smaller full one as per gen..also didn't notice the lume dot @ 12 the gen looks flat while the 'prototype' has a dot in a triangle...EEEEKKKKK!

italiano17771 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 over all i think it looks great. the fact that they are using specific datewheels for breitling is a great step. the problem with the lume dot at 3 might be because they are using a smaller case. i dont know for sure, but the dealers are saying the size is 44mm when it really is 45mm. just a thought.

ubiquitous Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Regarding the date window- Looks to me as though it's a bit too wide (as is the date). If they shortend it by a half mm, I bet it would be just right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 on a good note...the pearl looks great! its white...not green. man i hate those green pearls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
