It is an ultimate and there is indeed 2 different datefonts out there now....i have seen many with both...

Went to the AD today,didn't bring a rep or By-tor would shoot me....

Must have been AD day....

I was at the AD today as well,went in intending to buy a black dial skyland on rubber,a summer watch to rest my bling SA,ended up dissapointed as i found the skyland to be to small after taking my SA off and putting the skyland on....

I know that sounds silly as the skyland is a large watch,but once use to the SA,everything including the skyland seems small.....

Oh well,looked at some other nice Breits,all to damn small,but i must say,the blackbird dial impressed me most....very nice.....to bad that watch is not polished,at least the one for sale,i know they have them polished now as well.....should be a real winner.....

Hey Brian,you can always post your question on the forum,thats what its here for,you will get your answer.....

A BCE,surprised there would be any question.....

My gen SA shows no stamping on the inside of the clasp,reps show all of it.....

The version 1 bracelet has a large gap between the end link and the next link,not present on the gen or the V2 bracelet.....

this size?....it is kinda small,the BCE....is that what you mean?....

Gen Breitling brown calf strap.....makes all the difference,Doc....will look great and not that expensive.....

I forgot you are a rich doctor,grab a gen brown croco,moneybags.....

There is only one,Dave123.....king o' bling....

Those are a heck of a lot better then the actual boring photos....

That apparently was something alot of us were confused about....

TWP only handled the modded watches for that site,its not actually his site.....

Why pay $800 for an ugly rep when you can get a genuine handwind tourbillon with power reserve for $500?

Who paid $800 for one of your reps?....

Have not bought a rep worth wearing (to me anyway) for under $300,if its well done,its worth the money...

Compared to the gen,its a very small amount in most cases...

The good HBB reps are a bargain...imo...to each his own on the wallet issue....

Its almost like complaining about gas prices,we are paying it anyway,why whine about it.....to expensive?...move on....

LOL,thanks LR....

Not at all,Ital. and Andrew are the Breitling guys i look to,i pass along what i can,but those guys know there stuff.....good to have them both on this forum....the Breitling subforum is well represented here.....

That is a gen bezel on his SA....

Nice looking watches,Chief AR really is something special,isn't it.....

Ya,the 'ultimate' BCE's are the best reps made,imo....especially if you get a DW out of lello here on this forum....hard to beat that rep.....

LOL....

Am i known here?...i am a noob,i thought.....

The advice given above is solid,more thought out then i can be bothered to type....i think the 'ultimate' BCE's are the best rep made,thats my opinion,and i personally think for the price and service,ruby is a great choice on this watch...again,my opinion after 6 or so BCE reps bought.....

Welcome,probably not many of us from the Philippines......but many have wives from there.....or girlfriends at least......

My wife is from Quezon city.....enjoy the forum.....

Homer, let's hear the answer!! I really thought the bling was a gen, but at second glance, the dw font does look a tiny bit thin compared to my gen CSO. But I think the fonts on my CSO are a little different from the fonts on the gen BCE. It really could be a lello dw. However i'm still convinced that the bling is fully gen. Check out my gen CSO '14' for reference. Perhaps italiano/dave can post a pic of their gens with the dw on 14

My SA on the 14th?....guess so and oddly enough,i do have a shot on the 14th,before the bling bezel was put on....not a great pic but here you go....

hmm,another...had a couple on that day.....since you asked...

My gen SA is clear from all angles as well,i had a hell of a time trying to get some color for a pic.....

The one on the left is obvious.....thats not the question...

The question is if the bling one is gen or rep....the DW looks gen,but could be a lello....

I still think its a gen,the the tachymetre word is throwing me off now,the last 'e' is always in line with the end of the 1 o'clock marker.....wondering if Homer might be tossing out 2 reps for a teaser.....

I will still say gen....Breitling F'ed up.....

thanks to you,Ubi.....

I ordered my black magic a couple days ago as the AR blew me away as well,didn't know the Chief was in on it.....

Unreal work my friend,can't wait to get it,Itals pics are great......

Will put the word up when it arrives,Ital says better AR then my gen SA......

I had said this morning that the bling model is real and the other is fake...

Both seem to have the 'tachymetre' word extend past the 1 o'clock marker though,so now i'm not sure....

Its either the bling is gen or they are both reps and the bling has a DW mod.....

tough one,Homer,well done....

i did this alot on the old RWG - debates went on for dozens of pages about the war and katrina

frankly you don't really want to start

- anyway - obama is great in large crowds, but feels uncomfortable in the 1 on 1. not sure why but he does. - Michelle is amazing. Very tall very warm and good with a crowd.

If anyone hasn't read his books, i recommend dreams of my father - he wrote it just out of law school, its about him when he was younger, discovering his roots and dealing with his dad - Who he didn't know - 's death.

Must miss 'Demsey' in these discussions...huh....

I'd feel comfortable having a beer with McCain.

'I seen the planes with my own two eyes'.....

You didn't,Ryy?.....

LOL,i am laughing hard on that one....

Ryy. joking?....no....
