EMERGENCY.
Because its a unique concept and hasn

Say for whatever reason you could only have ONE Breitling replica for the rest of your natural born life. And though you could get parts and such you have to live with your one and only Breitling replica.
Which one would you get (or keep if you already own it)?

Ok I am waiting for the gen dials...... geeze I will be in this thing $800+ But will have on hell of a nice watch I think.
-
Thanks for making my pic big.
Yodap... care to rate the lume dots? I took the advice to get the watch serviced immediately as it is going to be my daily watch. Redoing lume is ~$120.... might be worth it or not. IDK?
Your thoughts?

Best I can do to show off the some of the blue. Everything else looks grey. I don't know how to get the stupid pic bigger or get imageshack to post into the insert image... not a photographer... Sorry!
I will add that the lume dots are awesome (such as it is centered @ 4 position, etc) and the dial, bezel, and renhault are all centered at 12 o'clock. I just did not think that the "blue" looks so grey!
Only in direct outdoor sunlight does any blue come off from the face of the watch (such as the pic I just posted).
It is a nice little watch. But is everyone's blue dial this dark/greyish? Want to know before I put the extra $200 to have it serviced.
Thanks!

Got mine in 6 days. Thats pretty quick.

UPDATE: Ok it might be blue.... I can't tell. If it is blue it is very very grey.

My 'Blue' Skyland arrived..... a really interesting color of blue..... (I can't upload a picture to this website for some reason because it is dynamic.... LOL)

Anyway it is slate grey. Suggestions?

That is one sexy watch. No reason to buy anything 'gen' unless you buy the entire gen.
This is a V2 from Josh?
-
Ok Vaclume is going to do the servicing. I trust RWG and the members who reside and do business here. I am just really stoked about getting this watch!
-
For some reason my post did not go through.............. LOL
I got Josh's website to cooperate and my order is on the way! Now I have to get my watch serviced. Anyone know of a good service rep here in the US?
I am considering Vaclume here in the US as he will service the 7750 for $190. That sounds like an ok price considering what The Zigmeister has said about the movement and everything that goes into it. Anyone have any recommendations?
-
Well I decided to go with the Blue on Stainless (V2). And I was trying to order from Joshua.... but when I go to pay it rejects my CC. And then I emailed Joshua a couple days ago and he is not returning any of my emails through his website.
SO..... anyone have any suggestions?
-
Blue... Check this pic:

It's mine and it's beautiful!!!
WOW.... don't be trying to pass off a gen as a rep
Details please!

v3 blue on blue rubber is $208 from peter...quote from y'day...i was inspired by our revered andrewwwwww to check out the blue again...why?...well, as Toad says, a lot depends on your Breit collection...i, too, went the grey skyland route b/c i felt it was most versatile...Lani was his typical zenmaster on dial color and helped with his post on grey vs. black dials on the skyland...
i, too went with peter b/c of price...
i need a blue dial Breit...after buying Hike's gen Aerospace, i am doing my best to not harass him to buy his blue gen Navi - which is by far the grail of blue dial watches...so, i thought i'd price-check the blue skyland...
My rainbow of Breits (which justifies my blue need gap?!)
1. white dials - SFSO on brown rep croc deployment, josh "fantasy" chrono avenger, polished ss bracelet (v1 ti model casing in polished ss - modded with utc link)
2. off-white dial - Navi World GMT on Gunny Mona strap
3. black dials - tri-compax 3-6-9 v1 navi (bought w/ help from andreww...thank you very much), gen aerospace ti/gold w/ ti/gold bracelet - with added utc, blacksteel on hktan red/black, Blackbird on brushed ss bracelet
4. grey dial - v3 skyland on black diver pro rubber

Ok I am still at a toss up between grey and blue. I might just go with a V2 Skyland from Joshua because it is easy. I wanted to buy the darn watch before the weekend but now I just don't know!
-
I read your thread Toad (well actually I have probably read most of your threads as they are awesome insights into the subject matter) and I should have bought the V3 back in October. But I was just browsing at the time but I am ready now to go ahead and get a sweet Breitling Rep.
V2 from Josh is $268+cc $+shipping so like $300. And then of course I will have it serviced for $190+shipping. I will wear this watch daily and put my lifeless Movados a break for a bit. Just needed that tiny bit of reassurance.
-
Thank you for all of your input. You folks know what is going on in the world of Breitlings.
But this leads me to my last and final question:
A ) Get a V2 from Joshua
B ) Get a V3 from Peter
*Que Joepardy theme song*
-
I have decided to go with the V2 or V3 Skyland Avenger (V2 would probably be ordered from Joshua...). Not sure who I would order the V3 from or whether I want to just go with the V2 and have the better AR.
And I cannot decide between Black or Slate Grey... I like the fact the grey enhances the AR tint but black is timeless. Leaning towards grey from so many of your posts.
Please help!

They want more for that watch than any Maserati made!
-
That is a gorgious watch.
-
That is a sweet review and a whole lotta Breitling goodness!
-
Oh my. Are they avaible in Swiss ETA yet?
Next on the chopping block is Timex Expedition replica... or maybe one of those cool 1980s Casio calculator watches (you could store phone numbers in it...)
Thats the stuff dreams are made of

So sad.

Obviously I am the only one having this problem..... lol

I was on Josh's website (www.pc88clone.com) and noticed that an error came up that said the account has been suspended and to register or pay dues or something. Really strange. Anyone else notice this?
