Stephane that is a neat little trick It certainly gives it the texture that you find on the genuine dial!

My hat comes off to the both of you, an incredible contribution!

Intimidating other dealers to raise prices - I fail to see how this would benefit us This shows lack of moral fibre, but as you say it would quite easily fall into the category of 'its business'. However, this Community should care less about whether it is a good business decision or not, that for me is irrelevant. If they are trying to force other dealers prices up, and then threatening to cut supplies this shows; a.) that we would be paying higher prices on watches that they succeed in forcing prices up on b.) that they show total lack of respect for our primary purpose - protecting the community from cartel and backhanding dealers. I will not disagree that J and A offer a great service, and they always have. However, these posts keep cropping up, and until we show them that this won't be stood for, they will carry on, and that is what worries me......

Is that a genuine dial in your Stephane?

Good to see you have taken delivery of it E, it looks great, wear it well!

WRONG! This isn't a business world. This is a forum to protect it's community. Any practice of this sort is never beneficial to the customer, it would have led to less choice for the customer, that is never a good thing! Business is business and yes this kind of event does occur in the business world, but the key reason for this community's existence is to protect its customers. If Joshua and Andrew are forcing people out of business, I see this as a bannable offence. I don't have time to trawl through all of the posts on RWI, but the mere fact that they have banned them would lead me to conclude that there is clear evidence of anti-community behaviour, the admin team are very good over there. I therefore put the question to this board; why are we not going to ban them if this is the case? When someone posts a replica watch on TZ and they get banned from all of the forums. I feel action that results in anything less than a ban on the forums for this kind of behaviour,which DIRECTLY affects our community would be hypocritical.

Nice pictures, you can never have too many 3717 threads, it is a beautiful watch!

For me it's like buying a car from a salesman and him saying he will service it for you. Granted TT is having it done by someone else, but there is no quality guarantee. Buy the watch and then have it serviced would be my advice based on previous waterproofing results

That is a very nice strap, really suits the matte colour of the case.

I never noticed that before! I wonder if there are any specially made straps for it. It would certainly look better on leather.

The existing Navitimer is actually very good. If you opt for the 12 9 6 layout, buy a Lello datewheel, and het some double AR and it will look very good! If this doesn't appeal, as suggested it may be worth waiting for the Legende to be released

It is much darker than that, I always assumed it was a shade of black

Very nice indeed, the old school CA is one of the best Breitling reps around!

Does anyone know the RRp on the gen? Is it a basic 7750, or does the gen have a seconds at 12 movement?

The black steel is on its way in a few months

See Bergies section on this forum, it's run by Kenberg

Beautiful pictures! Whereabouts is Lake Maggiore?

@Chrgod If you are a Breitling fan I would get the Skyland as well as the Blackbird that you already own. In the flesh they are two very different looking watches. The Blackbird having the very clear sophisticated lines of the Windrider series, whilst the Skyland is very shunky and as typically Breitlingesque as the rest of the Aeromarine series.

Get a pin remover tool off of ebay, makes the job really easy, and they're veyr cheap to buy.

I have ordered the black Skyland, to me it looks more modern. However, like the gerenal consensus, in a few months I will buy the white SA

Without a doubt the SOH. The Seadweller in my opinion isn't all that great. Get the SOH, and if you want a Rolex after that get Eurotimez's Euromariner.

I can't remember the last time I was so excied about receiving the knock on the door from the postman!

If rep collecting has led to a wife leaving you, or causing your payments on a house to cause you to become tight for cash, I think you need to take a step back for a while and evaluate things

The most similar model is PAM 188 The word similar is the key to this. No is the answer, but if you want the next best thing, get the 188.

Seiko's are very unlikely to be repped because of their afforability and it kind of goes against why the majority of people buy reps - to have the real thing for a portion of the price, and they are a less of a desirable brand.
