  1. I really want a UN. If a rep doesn't appear in the next year or so, I may consider the real thing, they are beautiful watches.
  2. It's the same that our dealers stock, only difference is that it comes with an ETA styled datewheel, better than the standard one, but sitll not accurate to the gen
  3. I don't remember which one it was, or the year. It was known to BMW as a problem though, and the only way to fix it was to put a whole new system in, and not being the conventional rack and pinion, it wasn't going to be cheap! Might be worth trying the car out first to see if it has this delay problem.
  4. Not sure what colour yours is, but if it's a white one, then it would definitely suit it!
  5. I have a friend with a BMW that has the idrive. It rives him crazy. There is a slight delay between what you input, and what happens. It's a known fault apparently, and has affected the resale value of his car.
  6. Here's a quick shot for you, Il PM you details of why and how came about it, don't want to hijack your thread
  7. No very good replicas available of this watch. I would definitely recommend buying the genuine. I have an Aerospace, and the quartz Breitlings are fantastic watches, and you have the benefit of knowing that there aren't any replicas of them!

  9. The pictures of Silix's SMP on his website don't do the watch any justice. I have seen a few pics of this posted here, and it looks very good for the price.
  10. That is a great story! ps I went to rate your post, and pressed the 'funny' one by accident, it was meant to be a gold star
  11. Wear it well, it's an ageless classic!
  12. Looks great, a really elegeant watch. Going to be putting my oreder in for one soon, will be the black one too.
  13. I love the SA. I really wanted to buy one, but after trying one on in an AD I realised just how big they are. Unfortunately it looked rather silly on my wrist. Wear it well.
  14. Welcome to the board, some very promising ideas and plans you have there!
  15. I would personally pressure test it first. There is no consistency with reps, Id be reluctant to wear the gen swimming.
  16. I have very much been looking forward to this, as like you, the Breitling Navitimer was what started it off for me. It is a great watch. This write up is the most comprehensive review of any watch I have read, very very useful! Thank you for your effort, it will be greatly appreciated by the whole community as well as me!
  17. The numbers are far squarer on the ETA datefont, which are more accurate to the genuine, I haven't seen the wednesday font comparatively, but the the rest of the days look closer from what I have seen.
  18. It's hard to tell, but the date doesn't look recessed, and the font looks very much correct (if I am correct in thinking it is an I would say it's a gen with the wong booklet
  19. Just one quick point the 4th Gen PO is the best 42mm, whilst the UPO is the best 45mm PO. As far as dress watches go, I quite like the Railmaster on a strap, an its very accurate too
  20. Could end up with a massive list here In regards to genuine watches; The majority of Breitling's come with a double AR coating (can't think of any recent ones that don't) Omega PO, and Railmaster XXL have double AR Omega SMP has single AR (not just the brand new 'red' SMP's also the older 'white SMP's - mine definitely has some sort of AR, although it doesn't give off a blue hue) Tag Heuers generally do not come with AR. Although the new Aquaracer has single AR although I believe no blue hue. Most Pams have a single coating of AR. Most IWC's come with double AR - 3717, Aquatimer, BP, Ingenieur etc.. A few of the older Pilots models come with an internal coat only
  21. Nice post! I saw one of these in an AD the other day, it is a truly beautiful watch!
  22. I think this is the same watch, has just been released....
  23. Great pic By-tor! It's a rep, but his pictures certainly make the watch look genuine!
