Yesterday I've received my new toy. I say thanks to Precious Time for the offered service, it's always a pleasure to acquire from PT.
The rep in issue reproduces the model Montbrillant Légende of the Breitling called "Silver" Dial. The gen has been defined the “largest one” of the Navitimer family with the impressive size of 47mm against the standard 42mm.
The beautiful cleaned dial, in spite of the numerous numbers indications, and retrò design is inspired to the old typical models of aviation of 1950 years, in fact also the
hands gold plated is back at wartime.
Exceptional dimensions of a rep are not accompanied to an resonable weight, if observe better the weight of rep Chronomat Evo is heavier, the approximate difference between the two models is of 20 grams, reduce the bracelet of the Evo of two link and of four link the the bracelet of BML.
Size are almost the same ones:
Diameter: 47mm Genuine/47mm Replica
Thickness: 15mm Genuine/15,7 Replica
Weight: 224,40 grams Genuine/226,37 grams Replica (Nb. The link on the BML are numerous for me is a good news for great wrists)
On the movement there is an minor error in the gen is not present the rapid change of datewheel. According to me the main defect of this rep is the distance of the datewindow from the written “CERTIFIE CHRONOMETRE”, in the gen this spacing is more than in rep.
Sorry for the quality of the pics and the three video but are cloudy days and is practically impossible for me to obtain something of decent with the in-door lighting.
The integrade bracelet to the wrist makes its beautiful figure and this design unusually seems elegant for a giant as the BML, for me is an equilibrium between last and modern taste.
