Very nice collection!

Take the first three....PO, MMD, Rollie.... the texture on those dials.....just can't beat a gen sometimes. Them you move onto the Breitling and the IWC.....everything about them just looks so crisp!

Some reps we have these days are so close. However, when you see some of these gens you realise that in actual fact the tiny difference between the reps and gens extrapolates to a huge difference with the overall appearance of the watch.

Good to hear from you CBR!

That is some serious kit. My word, I dread to think what would happen if someone were caught with that stuff in the UK haha

Beautiful pictures, the watch looks huge! FOr the price this looks to be a very well made rep!

Looks excellent, wear it well!

A beauty, but what engraving? Do you mean inside the lugs (under the bracelet's end links)?

On the rehaut.

As Yodap has said, there are none worth buying. I have only ever seen one replica of the B1 that I would consider buying, but that was very old (dont think they make them anymore), and by todays standards it isn't worth the money. Good thing is...it makes buying the gen all the more worthwhile.

So the 7750 Valjoux Working Chronograph movement is actually Asian?

It is yes. Also take note of Anton's remarks above. Reliability might be a problem, there was a big discussion about this when it first came out, a search should turn something up.

This is correct, the A7750 has been modded to replicate the running of the 7751.

The best BP I have seen was the one released by Jandrew (Josh and Andrew) based on the 5002. Its quite expensive for an A21J movement, but its definitely the best around at the minute.

If you have the Speedy style bracelet from a 2245 SMP, the endlinks might fit the SMP Chrono, but it may need some re-wrking to get it in there. If you have a Speedy bracelet, as Takashi has said, it won't fit because the endlinks are different. You can't swap an end link from the Bond to the Speedy because they attach to the bracelet differently.

And how this forum plans to prevent scams as such in the future...

There isn't a lot one can do. Members just need to use their common sense. It is very unfortunate, and Im not saying in this case it was members not using common sense, because I too dealt with Jakub.

With the rep game I am a firm believer that you should never invest/send away a watch/part of a watch that you can't afford to lose, which does come with exceptions of course for people who are very well known on the boards.

Congrats and a nice comparison. The WM9 looks very good, slight trimming of those CG's and a new pearl and that is a very close to perfect rep!!

Nice collection Teejay. I especially like the 068, which looked very good in the holiday pics on the other thread!

Is it beautiful....no

Is it impressive...yes!

It's hard to because there are so many different versions on different reps of this bracelet. Usually the Bond bracelet suffers from having screws instead of pins, and from memory (dont take as gospel) sometimes the clasp engravings can be slightly poor on the Speedy style. In general they're of an acceptable level. It really depends what watch you're buying, and what look you're going for.

Nice choice Robbie, the PO looks great on rubber! Can't beat the look of the gen PO, the dial has such a nice texture to it under that AR!

Weel there are plenty of reviews and points on this watch, so I won't dwell on the flaws. Overall it's not a bad replica by anymeans.

Personal taste - not the type of watch I would buy, but don't let any opinions sway you. Buying a watch is a very personal thing, if you like it, buy it!

I think you have been scammed also - $179 =

I do see a few people wear their watches in this manner, but I don't find it comfortable. Also, the equation of Breitling + unorthodox wearing style + desk = badly damaged AR.

It's exactly the same, it supposedly came with a better placed logo, but all of the 4th gen ones I have seen have had a good placement.

I'm afraid in the rep game you have to expect these minor niggles. Im sure some of the dealers would be willing to help out where they can, but buying a rep from China with no QC will have results like this.

Things like a non working chrono is slightly different because it suggest the movement is faulty, but if its a simple fix, generally a watchsmith is a better bet than going to the dealer, because sending it back can be laborious

Not an A7750, the sub dials are too close together, with the date flush against the dial I would say it looks like a quartz movement.If you shake it do you hear a rotor spinning to wind it....if you do it will be an Asian 21j movement, if not, and the second hand 'ticks' then it's quartz.

There is no Navitimer motors, that's a fantasy name as suggested below which is actually part of the Bentley line of breitlings.

Thats not ok,

3000 for a watch and they misplace the Lumedot

They're only 238USD, they're reps

Holy smokes, what a difference that AR coating makes, really makes the whole watch look more 'crisp'!!

Congratulations, the PO is a great watch, wear it well!
