Im working towards my perfect collection; PAM 005 SMP Chrono Breitling TT Navitimer (12,9,6) BCE 4th Gen PO To buy; Ultimate PO PO Casino Royal Ed. (when its released) IWC Aquatimer Costeau (again when its released) Submariner (not sure which version yet) Chopard Gran Turismo (When its released) After this I would like to say I won't buy anymore, but this would be my ideal collection.

I havent seen a black version. The blue chrono is available, and is one of the most accurate reps out there.

That's the replica Breitling with replica diamonds If I was into the 'Bling' factor, this would be the one I'd choose. I couldnt handle haivng real diamonds on a replica watch!

I think you could be right Pug. This is taken from the Panerai section;

Would it not be possbile to do it for the replicas that you advertise from now on?

Count me in for one!!

PS There is a wealth of information in this sub-forum. Have a read through some of the posts, it is a very steep learning curve!

I think the Panerai could eventually become the new 'who has the best sub' question. They are getting a big following now! If you want quality rather than a 1:1 replica, have a look at Davidsens products. He offers the superlume, canon pin fixed, AR. They aren't a 1:1 case so modifying is a bit more limited because in general Davidsen parts only fit Davidsen watches. I have one of his watches and it is very very good!

Very true. I could never justify spending that amount on a replica. Can pick up a second hand Planet ocean for that! 'Oh it's a replica Breitling........but the diamonds are real'

This is great news! Yes we definitely need descriptions in light of the newest reps available. AR coating should be listed if it is like the new BCE. Precise origins of the movement so there are no mistakes or uncertainties. 1:1 - does it therefore accept genuine dial crown etc... (is the size of the case exact to the original) In relation to lume, I think perhaps a lume shot after 40secs under a lamp so we can gauge for ourselves the brightness?

Welcome, collection is looking very good already! I like the IWC in particular!

Il never forget my first! Welcome to the board!!

Me too! I think this price is reasonable (just personally) but I must admit, I hope I am not being naive and giving the benefit of the doubt here! I guess only time will tell!

Great choice! One of the best reps available!

Totally I couldn't agree more. It is a way of having an access to dealers who don't charge over the odds prices. I consider scam sites to be charging artificially high prices. For $308, you couldn't even get a bad Submariner from half of them. When I was talking about business, I meant in relation to the whole of their market. We are such a tiny minority of their sales. They can keep the price high by x amount because there are others who will buy this without a second thought. If they lowered their prices they might sell a few more here, but having a bigger profit margin will pay dividends in the wider market. I feel it is only because as a community we are so privileged to have access to a variety of good dealers, that this latest commotion has caused such a stir?

The more i look at it the harder it is to see! Sometimes my Planet Ocean bezel doesnt align properly, where it is inbetween 'clicks'. Can you move the bezel around anti-clockwise a hair, without it clicking? This is what I have to do with my planet ocean sometimes. It is really hard to tell what is slightly misaligned here though! (dial or bezel) I really wouldnt have noticed it unless it was pointed out.

I recently removed a bracelet from a navitimer, I would imagine its pretty similar! If you turn the watch face down, and take the spring bar out on the clasp, so the bracelet hangs in two pieces. Then look down into the back of the endlink (link nearest the case), you'll see another spring bar run across inside there. You should also notice that there is a small ridge on each end. If you get a tiny screw driver, and place it on the outside (closest to edge of the case) and pull inwards, it should 'spring' in. It will pop out of place, when it does move it a few mm away from the hole to stop it popping back in. Just do the same on the other side and that half of the bracelet will come away. Then turn the watch around, and start on the opposite side of the watch, doing exactly the same. Hope this is clear, bit hard to do with out photo aids

Best I've seen for a long time! A few things you could nit pick at, but that really is a great replica! A genuine dial in there would make all the difference! Wonder if a genuine bezel would fit Like the owner says, it even has the red outlines on the 12o'clock subdial!!!

A large number of gens pass through airports that's for sure! Last year i went to spain, and sat next to someone with a Breitling for Bentley. Black dial, very nice! Got chatting to him about watches, nice bloke, and very nice watch!!

A new Pam is on it's way, the Chopard Gran Turismo also. I remember reading somewhere that a protoype for the Casino Royal Planet Ocean was going to emerge, anyone know if this is still in the pipeline? I really hope it is! Then the IWC Aquatimer Costeau will be a few months from now hopefully! What a year this will be for reps!!

Half the gens I see are warn by people who don't dress in an expensive looking way.

I concur. The main problem with the standard date fonts are the area they cover. All Breitling date fonts cover the date window. The single digits are very big compared to the standard ETA font. I doubt someone would notice the slightly different font in a Navitimer compared to an SA unless they had both genuines to compare them in close detail.

Originally I thought the new BCE, however, I forgot how attached to the SMP Chrono I am. It really is such a great watch!!
