  1. There is only one watch that I am interested in at the moment; The Breitling Superocean Heritage. I am going to wait and see if a other version is releasd before jumping on this one though, namely one with an asian movement.
  2. It's gen. It might just be the pics that make the lume look yellow, notice the pic below of mine, the one and two hour markers look very yellow, but in reality they are more of a light green (c1/c3) colour) The globe comes on the SMP in the last 3 years as far as I know, again see my case back, the on on ebay is definitely a genuine;
  3. Not bad thank you! Just two more assignments to hand in, then it's preparation for exams! Have secured a commercial internship with a global firm for the summer too, which I am very much looking forward to! Do you have an easter break coming up soon?
  4. Congratulations F! Glad to hear you're getting along well!
  5. You may find that the genuine strap/bracelet will come with springbars, it's worth checking. I bought two genuine Breitling straps and they both came with their own springbars, in whcih case they would fit straight in with no problems.
  6. It's just the way it's twisted on my wrist. Link sit's normally when on the normal place of the wrist.
  7. This week I have had two break throughs; 1) I found a 'close up' option on my sisters camera phone = slighty better pics 2) I bought a genuine SMP Auto The Watch I feel it doesn't need much of an introduction. It is a legend among many divers, as well as many Bond fans. It was originally worn by Pierce Brosnan, and it also appears in the new Casino Royale, being worn by Daniel Craig. It is the full size automatic version Compared to my rep SMP Chrono I used to have the SMP Chrono (currently on its way to Lazarini) I must admit, in comparison to the gen, the look and feel is very close. The three main comments I would make are; 1) The bracelet feels much better on the gen. It is more free, however, a little lubricant on the rep bracelet could possibly fix this 2) The lume - by god does this thing glow!!! 3) The dial - The wave pattern is certainly more prominent in sunlight than on the replica Thoughts I have wanted to buy this watch for a long time. There was something about it that drew me in. It is fairly simple looking, the cult image, but overall it is just such a versatile watch. You can wear it with almost anything. As for comfort, it is darn close to the Aerospace, which I believe to this day is the most comfortable watch available. Anyway, I didn't want to write too much, just to post a few pics of it;
  8. Nice review, and a beautiful watch!
  9. Wow, what a beauty! They are beautiful watches, and I have to agree, I prefer this model to the newer gen of Blackbird watches! Wear it well!
  10. Beautiful! White Breitling dial with the combo of the good old double AR that they use = stunning sights!!
  11. After falling in love with this watch after seeing it in the Bond films, here's a quick snap of my latest acquisition; EDIT, slightly better pic;
  12. I would choose the UPO, as the gen PO has double AR
  13. The rotating bezel design on these would be a weak point for water entry, as well as the pushers.Personally I don't think it wold be possible. If I had the gen I would keep it well away from water too.
  14. Looks fantastic on that strap! Nice display you have there too!
  15. I don't know what it is but I would also like to know as I spotted the same Pam the other day!
  16. Brilliant review!! Very detailed with great pictures! It's a must buy this one.
  17. Welcome, post some pics of the 111 when you get it!
  18. Fantastic picture! What size is this one? Any chance of a wrist shot?
  19. The new series of Lost has just begun here in the UK, so Il be attentitively watching each episode of that, a long with Ross Kemp in Afghanistan, which helps protray the realities of warfare in such terrain.
