Good to see you back! A couple of decent reps have come a long, namely the Porsche deisgn watch, from the photo's it looks very well made, and the new Breitling Superocean Heritage are both worth a mention.
That really is very good. Only the date font looks slightly different but who would notice that apart froma Breitling rep collector! A very fine replica, up there with the best reps of the last year this one!
There are a few members who have purchased this watch, and are awating delivery of it, so pics will be available soon.
In the mean time, in my opinion the black is the nicest! I know it has its similarities with its competitors (Submariner, PO), but it just looks so classy in that colour, especially if they release the rubber strap the gen comes on.
Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the 'posts since your last visit' link? The majority of time that I use it, it fails to show the posts, resetting the number to 0 (even if I haven't visited for a day). Is there anything in my profile I should change, or just a minor glitch with the software?
@ Pug - the Patrouille Navitimer uses the Breitling calibre 11, based on a Lemania movement.
I agree Vic, the P.F.T. Chronomat is a beautiful piece. Another favourite of mine is the original Breitling Blackbird which looks very similar;
It is indeed. Breitling have released many a Ltd Ed watch in conjunction with aerobatic teams etc....
Aerospace Patrouille de France
Italian Aerobatic team
Chronomat Frecce Tricolore
Yes thats a gen dial. The easiest way to tell is the cut of the date window, slightly bigger and finished better. Will fit the 12 9 6 Navitimers, as the Breitling movement is based on a 7750
I bought one of these for a friend. The only flaw that I could see was the date font. Swap swiss datewheel over for the asian one already in there, and nobody would be able to tell the difference, they really are a great replica, of a very classy watch!
I am in exactly the same position, the vintage pieces have a lot of appeal to me. This reminds me of the Speedmaster, a watch I endeavour to buy the gen of.
