  1. Same again for me, I can't get this thing off of my wrist!
  2. Very nice collection! Like the Bentley in white!
  3. Congrats, that is very nice! I know what you mean, there is something about the gen's that just seem to prevail even over the best reps out there. Wear it well!
  4. haha, I have always had an inkling, now its confirmed

    Which Gen PO?

    Thge best 42mm PO you can buy is reffered to as the 4th gen. The Ultimate PO (45mm) might be the 6th gen. Basically if you want to get the best PO these are the ones to buy; 42mm - 4th gen 45mm - 'Ultimate' PO
  6. oohhh that's very nice! Wear it well!
  7. Nice review! A very classy Breitling, and looks great on the strap!
  8. Stunning! I wish I had one of these in my collection. I hesitated just too long, then they went out of production. A must for any Breitling fan!
  9. I finsihed wednsday and have a few more pictures. It was a great experience, both the flying and being immersed in the military environment. This is a picture of me and another course member, by the side of the aircraft we were flying. We aso had a trip in a Commando Sea King which was great fun. This was taken by me literally hanging out of the side door. Flying at 300ft, the vis wasn't too good, with low cloud cover. Wrist Shot Looking around a Hawk. Wannabe. And a few more pics of formation flying The whole course was courtesy of the Royal Naval Unit at my university. It's partly to promote awareness of the Fleet Air Arm and also as an opportunity for potential aircrew to get a taster of military flying. Quite possibly the best 10 days of my life so far, I had an excellent time, and I can't wait to get airbourne again at my local flying club!!
  10. Finepics will return the watches. He has had a hard time of late. I have had a watch with him for 7 months now, so everyone just be patient, a watch is a watch, wear a different one for a while. Health and career come before hobbies/services such as this. Campervan, there are some other modders on this board who do a sterling job. Depending on your country of origin and national customs policies it might be worth considering trying one of them, but they are mainly in the US.
  11. Welcome to the board! Ultimate PO is a good choice. Let us know what you think when you receive it!
  12. Ultimate PO in black Rolex Submariner - after almost a year of being here I still haven't got one!!! IWC Costeau
  13. I'm not too familiar with the model but at first glance it looks good! It's on my to buy list now for a daily wearer.
  14. I have only ever seen the work you do, and it has always been of the highest quality. Sorry to hear about this. Your service to this board will be missed.
  15. That looks really very good on the strap! Is that the new Ultimate version?
  16. haha. We were flying at 300ft. The second picture is with legs dangling out of the side of the Sea King, trying not to drop my parents camera! I was going to try and get a wrist shot a 6,000ft in a Grob but I think my instructor may have thought I was a little strange taking pictures of my watch instead of flying the brief that we had been given
  17. Great find Some of the classic Navi's are stunning pieces!
  18. The navitimer's look good on steel, but when on a leather strap they look far better in my opinion. It gives them a real classy look and feel.
  19. Just come back from the second installment of my flying course. These were taken in the back of a RN Commando Sea King. More pics will be added in the 'Off Topic' area shortly
  20. This is very true. If the information given to us by a dealer in a recent topic was correct, we make up but a handful of sales, the majority being Malaysia etc... If we boycott the Asian 7750, it won't achieve much, maybe a tighter QC by our dealers on the products they are selling. I have had no problems with all of my 7750's, and like any mechanical watch, a service at some point is a must. If we all look after our 7750's, then we can run them problem free for the foreseeable future! I'm not certain if this is still availasble, but a while ago I asked about having a Bentley GT serviced before purchase. It put the price up a fair, but this service by the dealers would at least allow us to know our Asian 7750 is oiled properly. As far as I can remmber The Zigmeister also mentioned that once serviced, there is no reason why these Asian movements should pack in before an ETA.
  21. I'm pretty sure the triangle is an optical illusion, and the angle of the photo's. As for the date being a fraction of a mm too far round might be due to the mechanism changing the date?
  22. Glad you're enjoying your time here! This forum is certainly a haven for information!
  23. haha, I had my Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish on. White dial black genuine rubber strap. the problem is, my camera doesn't seem to focus on the watch face too well, so it would be a bit blurred. Off again shortly for the final installment, will hopefully have some more pics, and Il try a few wristshots, see how they come out! Btw my instructor wears a rep Dayton, TT. I haven't mentioned it to him, but it is a very nice looking watch!
  24. The blue is indeed a fantasy watch, but it does look nice! I have the SMP Chrono, and it is one of the best watches I have ever bought. It's really very good, and a must for any rep collector! The Planet Ocean chrono looks great in black too if you want a rep that's not a 'fantasy' model.
