It's very true, the gens are much harder to review that the reps, from a writing point f view and like you say, a motivational point of view. Thanks for the kind words BT, just the holy mackeral of grails to go for me now....the Portuguese 3714, but I think that's going to be in another lifetime as that's rather out of my price range! PS I saw a blue SOSF on TZ-UK a few days ago but it had just been sold...hopefully another will crop up soon!

I will go and dig it out this evening, and get back to you on those points. If I do get over to Canada, Il let you know, we'll have to catch up for a beer and a good talk about Breitlings I remember when you first got it, I knew you had found your grail and that it would be with you for a very long time. As far as Rolex go, they certainly hit a home run with this one! Thanks for the shot, and good chatting to you too A!

My thoughts exactly! It seems we do indeed share similar tastes in watches

Il keep my eyes peeled for you.

Hey A, long time no speak how are you!? UN has gone, I sold it when I moved out of home to fund a few things. It's certainly on my list for later in life though! How's the GMT2c going? Here's a quick shot of the current collection, although I am considering selling the 008 as it's quite big on my wrists, and I like to keep a small collection

Thanks R, I managed to source it fairly locally, so it was a short train trip away and I was playing with it on the train home....the only think I miss is the quick date set function of an A7750. I was playing about with the time on the way back, and before I realised that I had changed the date it was too late, I had to wind it forwards and backwards many times to get the date back to the right one haha I agree, the rep really isn't all that bad, it's just the little things that are different. On the wrist, the date isn't that obvious unless it single digits, where they are massive and face downwards. Apart from that, the replica is definitely very good! I don't suppose you have a spare strap you would like to sell, I might need to source one pretty soon as it smells a bit smokey

I'm afraid you may be right with that one! However, what's on your wrist is the one I really long after! Very true, there are some nice varities of Navi's out there, but in my opinion, the black panda on leather is the most traditional of them, so it had to be that one You'll notice that there is a tiny mark in the AR just near the 7 marker.....it may need a trip to you for some Breitling beating AR

Many a moon ago, I picked up my first replica when I joined this forum from Joshua, and it was the tri-compax 21k Navitimer. I noticed that another member shared my passion for the watch....yes we all know who that is, Mr Navitimer himself (Andreww) who wrote this great guide to the watch; Today I tried to set up a light tent using some envelopes, a lamp, one piece of paper, and got the N95 out for a few snapshots of one of my favourite watches ever made;

ah no, there's a biker in the house ... begrudgingly, I am inclined to agree. I love watching the F1, but last season I also began to watch the Moto GP, and some of the racing that took place was actually unbelievable at times. I will certainly be watching the whole season this year, it makes for great viewing, even if like me you're not really that interested in bikes themselves

Yes, it's the new Aquaracer 500m that tgas has released (last year I believe) For me, it further reinforces that Tag is moving in a really good direction with regards to it's designs. In the flesh this is a really nice watch. I have always fancied a SMP 2254, but they don't come up that often, but this Tag is a really good substitute! It captures similar characteristics of the SMP 2254. I bought mine second hand from a guy on RepGeek, but it originally came from PreciousTime, and I almost bought one from him until this one came up for sale on the sales corner over at RG.

Happy times all round!

It is a replica, but it certainly is built like a gen. I'd compare this to the SOSF in terms of build quality and how it feels on the wrist...it really is a must have for rep collectors Indeed it is Good to see you posting again Pug!

This Navitimer is the newer one with the Breitling Calibre 23 movement Il be doing a review of the Aquaracer over the next week, but in short.....it's amazing! Tried the gen on, and genuinely cannot tell the difference in fit and finish....the bezel is slightly looser on the clicks, but that's something that applies to all reps. Apart from that, it's a very good replication. haha thank you This tag is a real looker. It has a really nice feel and look to it on the wrist, would thoroughly recommend one!

Just thought I'd share two new additions to the collection. Excuse the poor photo's, Il be taking some more tomorrow in better lighting

Just picked up somewhat of a grail for me

Yes indeed, the reps are very good of the newer Evolution. From memory these are 39mm? I remember trying it on and thinking it fitted my slim wrists really well! There's a white version for sale over at TZUK....very tempting

Thanks P4GTR, nice Tag you have there too! The model number is the CT1110, but most searches will turn up the newer stick marker version. As for price, the stick marker version, and blue 'Bourne' versions sell for anything between

Beautiful watch. A colleague I used to work with had the Steel version of this, it's a true classic! Wear it well

Just picked mine up from the post office....holy smokes Batman. I tried the gen on a couple of weeks ago, and this is a great replication. The bracelet feels similar to a Rolex bracelet, and the replica is exactly the same. If you love the Omega SMP 2254, then this is a really good substitute. Expect pics to follow, and a review at some point soon too

Beautiful watch, I have one of these on it's way to me, it's currently at the Post Office as I missed the delivery....so Il be picking it up tomorrow. After seeing these pictures, I can't wait!

As some of you will know, I am a massive James Bond fan. I love the action, the romance and the spy storyline seems to appeal to some primeval genetic code in me

Here's one for the Bourne fans Full Review to follow!

I know that's one thing that really puzzled me, as I know it has a great reputation for being a very accurate replica, however, I couldn't turn up much on it, so hopefully this review will provide a bit more info for anyone who is interested in this watch It was an old post, but one of the best ones out there for this watch Thanks Hike, wear yours well, I think mines going to be on my wrist all this week!

Thans MP. It was actually some of your pictures in an older post that sent me over the edge with this watch, I just had to have one!
