The new BCE is definitely not under 43mm. I tried measuring mine by means of an incredibly accurate method....a ruler and it's a fraction over 43mm

Not again!!

I have asked you for any evidence that my item is not as described, you have not given any (is this slander or libel?)!

Well first of all slander and libel are torts, they come under defamation. So no it's not. This would be covered in contract law.

Have you offered him any personal information? Does he know your ebay account or anything like this? If he doesn't, I would just ignore him!

It sounds like you have rattled his cage by calling him out, and he is over reacting!

I would personally not reply to him, if he has no information of whom you are, then its probably best left as it is?

Quite different from what I thought I was going to read going by the topic title!

Crikey I hope he doesn't come back to post in a hurry!

I just ordered a genuine bezel from Ofrei last night (for the 42.5mm model). Plus, I just got a new camera last week (the reason I haven't posted pics in a long time is that the other camera broke). So, I'll let you know what happens and post pics of it.

How did the fitment of this go? I am considering ordering the bezel insert.

There is a group run of AR coatings being offered. The first batch has been sent off (as far as I know) Hopefully if it all works out, there will be a second batch going out at some point!

Looks really nice in blue! Might have to buy all three colours at this rate!

If this project does go ahead, you can count me in for a few. I have a couple of 7750 Breitlings in mind that i want to purchase, where the date font is the main flaw!

Do you need high res of all the numbers, or just a few to get the right font?

The crown on mine screws in nicely too. Are you applying enough pressure in the direction of the watch when you screw it?

That is just a basic Swiss ETA datewheel. I have one being fitted in my asian 7750 TT navitimer 12,9,6.

They look better than the normal asian datewheel, but still different from the genuine one.

The date font that Breitling use is very different from the font on the Asian 7750. The new BCE is the closest so far.

There are a few genuine Breitling owners on this board, who may provide a few shots?

Is it a 20mm lug Planet Ocean rubber strap? Just want to clarify the size for the 4th gen 42mm before I go ahead with it.

Many thanks

I hope you enjoyed this. You may now return to discussing Wankery engines, or whatever it was before I so rudely interupted you.

Haha the infamous thread hijack!

What is the pearl made out of? Just thinking I might try filing my 4th gen 42mm one down, but don't want to incase it isn't a substance that doesn't take kindly to filing?

Great post Pugwash!

It's incredible how far replicas have come in the time I have been a member on this board. If I had seen those when I first joined I would have sworn blind all 3 were genuine!

As already said, we are indeed in the golden age of replicas!

Great review, nice clear pictures! This will be my next purchase without a doubt!

Glad you're pleased with it! It's a great piece! Wear it well!

F.E.A.R is probably the best game I have played in a very long time! I have Half Life 2 and thats second on the list, but I found it didn't draw me in like F.E.A.R did.

Yes Chronus it fits and looks great.

I didn't realise that! I thought it didn't fit! Well thats me off to the AD today then

Thats the genuine above, noticed the black dial, and then the 'white wall' on the outside of the dial. Notice how close the numbers are to the outside of that wall. Next is a picture of the rep, notice the slightly bigger gap.

I for one am convinced that the pictures make this look much worse than it is. I can't say for sure though as I don't own one. I can imagine when its in the scale of 44mm it really isnt that much different?

Don't want to get off the topic too much, but have you had any reliability problems? The thought of buying a rotary engine scares the hell out of me, but the RX-7's are just such great cars!

No, I can't get into mine either.

Now I am curious. What is that hobby?

Yes, by the look of the picture I would guess it's taking a Mazda Rx-7 to track days!

I believe the silver square around the date window is also too thick? Still an awesome replica that I will buy in the black very soon!

I prefer the standard watch too. The bling over complicates the watch!
