Nice collection. I love the Black Seal!

At a guess I would say it is two generations (45mm generations, not including the 42) before the UPO.

hmmm... I would go for realisation

Welcome to the board. Upgrade your membership, do a little research, and you will be rewarded for your time.

No you're completely right TTK it didn't say genuine Breitling rubber strap, however it doesn't say replica either. I do recall you posting some pics of genuine watches before, and I don't recall those pictures saying genuine in the title, and questions were asked if they were reps, and you quite rightly said that no, they were genuine pictures. This is a wrongful assumption made on our part, but in reverse to the situation here. Seeing though such a strap hasn't been seen before, and it does look spot on, I think it is a reasonable assumption to make, even though it is wrong.

I don't want to get into an argument here TTK, it was merely a viewpoint that I felt was reasonable to express here.

Considering it said Breitling rubber straps, I thought that asking whether it was genuine was a completely justified question. Considering how you have sourced things of late, I thought you may have picked some up for cheap. There are genuine watches posted on this forum.

Nice purchase, it's a very nice Breitling you have there!

I believe so, although DD does make a big date module for the 7750. But I know of no version of the 7750 w/ date running @ 3:00.

Can someone transalte this?

"Sapphire Glass with light AR"...mineral glass w/ no AR right?

It's interesting about the AR. I have just removed a Navitimer crystal and used some sandpaper on the inside of the crystal, and indeed there is some kind of coating that reduces reflections, but to a minimal amount. Now it is removed, it does reflect slightly more than my other Navitimer crystal that hasn't been touched. So light AR isn't actually no AR, it is 'very small amount' of AR. Before I did this I always translated 'light AR' as 'no AR'.

I must say that I haven't seen this used very much apart from when TTK posts!

It's a scam, for that price you won't be able to get a movement as advertised

I would suggest an Omega Seamaster Chrono

Yes the IWC's definitely have double AR. From the post above and previous visits to AD's they are double coatings.

On a quest for global domination

I am no Rolex expert, but that look awesome TTK!

Welcome back! We'll have to get another UK get together going soon!

The two tone bracelet for the BCE is not available while the Bentley GTs have them. Will the Bentley's bracelet fit the BCE? They are both 20mm.

If the Bentley is 'as per the gen' the lugs are 24mm, and the BCE's are 22mm so unfortunately they won't fit.

Nice purchase Stephane! Another beautiful watch in your collection!

Unfortunately it's not quite as black and white as that.

Congrats on the purchase, and some very nice pictures too!

I received my Navitimer back too a few days ago. Re-lume, ETA date wheel, now all that's left is the AR

3-5 secs would comply with COSC standards, but becvause these are reps, aslong as mine dont run more than 5minutes Im happy. You could always take it to a watchmaker to regulate it for you.

As above really. AS long as you remember to have it serviced like you would any ETA movement, it will last you indefinitely.

Congrats on the purchase, looks really good on the rubber!

Nice pictures!

Looks fantastic with the AR crystal. Makes such a difference on this watch, and the VC Overseas
