Hey guys, Just wanted to say hi to my fellow Breitling fans. I just bought this watch off of another forum member and am IN LOVE with this watch. This watch is the reason I have been looking into reps.... I would really like to go as Franken as possible with this thing and get Gen Dial, Datewhee, and hands.... If any of you know where I can source these type of parts for this watch please let me know. Here is the watch:

The more I wear this beauty, the more I like it.

Amusing story I thought I'd pass along. I have a friend who needed money and sold me his Breitling watch. I honestly didn't like the dated look, but I thought I could flip it for more than the jewelry store was offering him. He'd rather "give it away" to a friend than a store. A few jewelry stores had made me offers, and knowing replicas, I also knew it was genuine as soon as I got it (besides the fact I've known the guy for over 20 years) For one thing, no one makes a replica of this (that I've seen) it's an older model. If there is a replica of this watch, it was made nearly 20 years ago and probably would probably be beneath Canal Street. Anyway, this super high end jeweler (used to be a Breitling dealer) gets their watch buying "expert" to look at it, and said it looked too suspicious and he was afraid to risk buying it after putting it through his loupe, etc. I just find it amusing that now dealers think their real watches are replicas. Why would anyone now pony up $8k for a Breitling (or any real watch for that matter). Not even dealers can tell the difference anymore. Also, selling this watch, I don't think I could ever buy another genuine watch again. This thing was nearly $8k new, and all the offers I'm getting are about what just the bracelet would go for used. I'm already getting offers for slightly more than I paid, but the depreciation is steep.

Motörhead anyone?

Cheers for the warm welcome guys, it's appreciated. Don't know how I'd go if I try and product review anything I buy as I don't have much to compare against. I might give it a go though. p.s. for MD2020 - Copied from wiki.answers..... 'Kiwis, a nickname used by Pakeha (non-Maori) New Zealanders, are named after a unique flightless bird about the size of a large chicken. The Kiwi was named by the Maori after it's call which sounds like keeee weeee. How the nickname stuck is unknown but nothing else exists like it in the world and New Zealanders like to think that we are unique. We ARE NOT named after the small brown fruit. In New Zealand they are called Kiwifruit never ever just "Kiwi" the kiwifruit was a marketing name as New Zealand was the first place where they were grown commercialy but they never got around to trademarking the name.'

Time sure goes by fast, congrats B!

Hey guys, yesterday was my birthday and I'm undecided what do get. I'm stuck between the AP ROO, the Chopard LUC Pro One or the Seal JLC. My current daily beater is a PAM 104, with the occasional Aquanaut day and an Explorer 2 for special occasions. - How is the lume on the JLC compared to the ROO? They are not superlume but I know the JLC lume is considered pretty good. How easy would it be to relume the watches? -Which is the best OOTB rep? I wouldn't want to spend a lot on a Hornback for the ROO so I would keep it on the factory rubber. I really hate the Seal strap I would need to get a new one there probably, but the watch is considerably cheaper anyway -Which ROO? I like the 2009 Silver theme edition, they have a video and QC pics up so I feel like I know what I'm going to get. And how does it compare to the the new RO reps which also look great. -What about the Chopard LUC Pro One, the rep is pretty new and looks really good, although I've only seen the 1000 miliga at the local dealer -Am I missing an obvious choice? I'd love a Navitimer but the reps are not up so scratch yet, any more suggestions? Thanks in advance, as we all know, choosing one is the hardest part
