Bazz Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Being a fan of chunky dive watches it was pretty difficult to not pick one of these up, especially with the funky dial colour. Comparison with the gen on the left, The dial and number colours are actually the same as you see on the gen and not as per my pic on the right. Here I super imposed the rep over the gen and as you can see its very accurate, any parts that dont seem to line up is probably more the angle of my pic being slightly off. Comparison with the UPO, as you can see it's a lot thicker. Movement is very well secured and mine came with a 2836. The original uses a Breitling 17 which is pretty much a 2824. I have no idea about how He valves are supposed to work but this is what it looks like from the inside. Over all a pretty good rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its_urabus Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 very nice. my question is, has this been water tested like the sfso was? and is the rider tab at 12 misaligned like it was on my 2 sfso? amazing pics... thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Arent these watches supposed to have a brushed satin finish on the sides of the watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRONTE500 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Awesome looking rep. Think i might have to give in to this beauty. Those pics and lani's pics with it on a black with yellow stitching strap look great. Seriously nice looking watch. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thanks fella's Might have to get a rubber strap to go with it! my question is, has this been water tested like the sfso was? and is the rider tab at 12 misaligned like it was on my 2 sfso? They claim it's waterproof to 1000m I have had on in the pool a few times no problem but I also put silicone grease on the gasket when I reassembled it. I'm not sure what you mean by the rider tab? if it's the bit with the lume dot it is lined up with the 12. Arent these watches supposed to have a brushed satin finish on the sides of the watch? The Ti version is brushed but the steel ASW has polished sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 GREAT and I mean GREAT comparisson shot! Love it. I would really like to know it the bezel assembly is as per gen. It's probably not and just popped and therefor a [censored] to remove. That kinda holds me back on buying one.... as it makes rebrushing the bezel almost impossible. The BCE is brushed in the other direction and therefor can be rebrushed without removing the bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thanks again guys @RM I'm not really sure if the bezel is attached as per gen sorry. Here's a few more shots, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Go on brighten up your collection On another note can any one comment on the rep Breitling rubber straps? Good quality? I know this answer Is about 14 months late. The breitling rubber straps are very good, some say no difference from the very expensive gens. Im also waiting on my yellow SW so I thought a little thread revival was In order. Thanks Baz for a very nice review, those splash shots are fantastic Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
