Wow, I didn't think that a spelling error would be taken so badly!
But thanks for the spell check!

You should sell it to someone who can afford a gen strap for it.
It was a gift, the giver would be crushed...
I think it would really be a shame to put a rep strap on such a beautiful watch.
Possibly, but considering the accuracy of this rep and the price of the gen strap it is certainly worth a try.
And no

Absolutely spectacular review!
thank you!!!

Hi everybody,
I have a gen UN Maxi Marine Chrono (ref number 356-66-8/354 on the UN site) which I received as a gift 2 years ago.
The strap is begining to get worn out and I have been searching for a replacement.
The gen strap is way out of my price range and as such I have been waiting for a decent UN rep.
Well... we finally got it!
So, does anybody out there know if the strap of the new Maxi Marine Diver Chrono rep will fit my Maxi Marine gen?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try reading Eurotimez (Chris') QC procedures...that might put you at ease.
Thank You. But... How is he offering this watch so cheap compared to other dealers' prices? Is it the lite version? Is it a lesser version?

Hi,
I have been following the BB RG/ceramic for a while.
I have seen it through all its reincarnations and mods.
I am finally about ready to pull the trigger.
But before I pay +- $600 for a rep, I decided to do one last serious round of research so that I can be absolutely sure that I will be getting the best deal I can.
Obviously this is the rep market and there are no guarantees, but I have learned that with careful work and research the buyer can basically be assured of some quality.
That said, I still cannot seem to come out with a clear-cut answer of which dealers I can rely on to supply me with the highest quality of this specific watch (BB RG/ceramic) at the best price.
In the past I have made purchases from both Josh and Andrew. But since they are almost always the most expensive of our dealers, I decided that I would go bargain hunting this time and try to find something for a bit less than their prices. I do not, however, want to sacrifice any quality just because I am saving a few dollars.
And yes, I have searched and searched more. Researched and researched further. But I still cannot seem to find an answer.
And so, I have decided to post and request for help, something which I rarely do.
I would really appreciate any help from all of you "BB experts" in assisting me in my hunt for a reliable well priced dealer for my BB RG/ceramic.
Thank You,
Ay Cee

WOW!
AMAZING WATCH!
THINK WE'LL EVER SEE A REP OF THIS?

Hey,
Do those "avnei mazal" really work?
are you seeing mazal and bracha from them?
-
Beautiful!
Where did you get this and at what price?
-
I'm gonna say #1 is the rep simply because the band looks bad.
It seems that there is far too much cushion in the band. It pops up a bit much for a gen.
-
I am strongly considering having a watch
-
Which would you choose?
None!!!
F--K those nazi bastards!!!
-
WOW Andrew!
This review is truly a beautiful piece of work!
-
about call out the GT racing rep - in my opinion the only BIG TELL from a distance, is the way-too-thick inner bezel, which can be seen for a nice distance otherwise, even from a 5meter distance it might appear to be a gen
Im gonna have to disagree again.
IMHO, the biggest tell of this being a rep is easily the fact that there is no AR.
Breitlings are notorious for their strong AR tint.
I wuld say the no AR is a much, much, much bigger give away than the thick bezel, and you can see it from just as far.
-
the only thing that was annoying me is the fact my bezel turns both sides without clicking at all, but its nothing critical
Nice review, thank you.
But...
That it how it is supposed to be! On the gen the bezel also rotates in both directions without clicking.
So since you obviously did not compare it to the gen, I will help you out, and make a few more points.
- The slide rule is generally not alligned properly on this watch
- The date is the wrong color. It is bright red as opposed to a dark maroon. Although, some dealers have begun offering the correct color on the date.
- The leather strap is terrible. The SS strap is good.
Overall it is a god replica, though not nearly as good as some of the other reps out there.
A breitling afficianado could call this out as a fake from a mile away.
Hopefully, one of our dealers will realize that there is a very big demand for the Breitling Bentley's some time soon and make a super-rep out of it.

"Anyways...it sounds like you have the 356-66/354 and not the 346-66-8/354. The 354 is the bracelet...so none of the elements should be transferable. The 314 is the croc strap with deployment so it doesn't have all the additional elements of the rubber deployment.
The rep that is out I'm assuming you are referring to the MMD Chrono in RG."
Correct
"I think this is your clasp isn't it??"
Correct
"I feel educated. Thanks."
Not nearly as educated as I feel!
Toad, thanks a million!
You've been a great help!
For a moment there I thought all I was going to get was spellchecking, but I have finally gotten the response I was hoping for!
