I got most my gen dials from the bay. There are some Seamaster dial for sale on there already, as I speak. But i have never yet seen any PO dials for sale on the bay. You will have to buy them new from dealers ($240 approximately I believe).

Hmm... This is the first time I hear about this. Great news! I hope they've also fixed the crown tube.

UPO are also moddable, but cheap parts are hard to find. If you want to mod it with new parts, you will be spending a lot. At the end, the beat on the second hand is still wrong.

I have never owned a Seamaster chrono, but UPO is decent if you don't mind the happy feet on the dial logo and pearl and short crown tube thread. If you are going to mod your watch later, I think you may want to consider Seamaster chrono more because gen parts for this watch are cheap and easy to find used. Just my two cents. Good luck!

Nice work, bud!

What do you think of this? http://cgi.ebay.com/Breitling-SuperOcean-SteelFish-Chrono-SS-Le-/190473771759?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2c591f1aef

Congrats R! Now I miss mine

So much for getting up early... I must be crazy thinking I could get 500gb portable harddrive (for watch photos of course) for $40. I didn't get it. Bought a 4gb flashdrive for $8 instead. Apple store had a lot of people. I ended up with a 32gb iPod touch 4th gen for $270. What did you get? (sorry for another useless thread)

Here is mine.

The waitress was pretty cute. We tipped her well.

Watch buddies GTG is definitely more fun than being on a date!

No pics. Only pics I took were Chronoluvvv's Breitling Bentley Flying-B. Guys posting pics in a restaurant setting, doesn't feel right. Especially we are not dating.

Thanks for showing me sweet collection!

Just got back from GTG in Seattle! Having this one on my wrist for the last two days...

Starting with knowing if your watch is worthy of franken. Not all reps are in good quality and not all reps taken gen parts.

Hi guy, I just got a Santos Ultimate with SS bracelet. Just like yours, the crystal on the crown is lighter blue in color. Which one do you think it's more accurate? Joshua doesn't sell ones with SS bracelet, I wonder if there are more than one factory making these watches... Any thoughts?

There are a lot of rep that are pretty accurate, especially ones are introduced in the last two years. I like my SOH v2, BCEs, they are nice, especially with gen dials. The new Cartier Santos 100 ultimate is pretty awesome also.

I believe not all sosf rep have AR coated glass. The cheaper ones don't. I went to kayak with mine, and got into water three times, and no problem. I don't know what's the exact WR rating my watch has though. There are two Swiss fish I know of, maybe two versions of Asian fish. The price is about right I think, for an Asian fish. The catch is you cannot mount Swiss movement later. The watch can't be franken'd neither..

Wondering what you think my sales... http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/125051-fs-franken-breitling-superocean-sf-modded-skyland-v3/page__gopid__905273#entry905273

@aanival. Wow, what a collection! They are so nice! I can't tell which one is gen! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip! The problem with gen straps is the cost. I can spend $350+ on a gen SS bracelet, but on a croc strap, I will have to think twice. I'm sure they are nice and worth every penny and it's just me. I got my Santos 100 today from Joshua. I have to say it's very good. The watch itself has very simple design, which really helps on the accuracy of the rep. The case has very very good bushed finish. The sapphire crystal is great and so as the curved dial. The bezel screws came not tightened, so i had to given them another quarter turn each. No big deal. The box on the other hand, is not so much. However, it is a nice bonus. Let's just say, the watch is so good that I bought my second one already...

Skyland bracelet is high polished chrome whereas sosf bracelet is more brushed. They are the same except for the end links.

I believe Murph was selling them.

Has anybody ordered these $60 replacement straps selling on the bay? I'm just wondering if they are any better than what comes with the watch. I genuine one cost $350 straps only, which makes me want to think twice.

The other thing is if you accidentally scratch the hands or dial, you will be screwed.
