Thank you for your time Z ~ anything that you refinish is alway's much better for it.. and we can get it to OEM lume specs.. My Graham of the same model will have to wait .. .. there are others that I give more wrist time that need your expertise... The impossible just takes a bit more time with you Thanks you again for your time.. it is of value added as alway's ~ Aloha~Cheers L

It is the newer released "Avenger" Seawolf ... it has the Avenger based case set with the Water Resistance of ... whateva it say's on the dial Now the official Web site list the versions as SS .. what may or may not be scam sites lists it as TI .. with just drawings and no real live images.. If you are familiar with Breitlings web site you will know it is challenging to download pics and they have scaled back the measurements (specs) .. for obvious reasons.. So your seeing a Breitling "Hybrid" with the stenciled numerals mixed with Seawolf markings .. that was made with genuine as sample.. I like it..

Still ONE OF A KIND!!!!!! I hope it stay's that way... one of your signatures. S !!!!!!!!!

NOT !!!! I jus don't have many "other" vices....no bar tabs... not many frills .. so this is it .. for now.. until I meet my next "future ex" .. but everytiime I meet someone.. "red flags" go up faster.. Meaningful overnighters or after luncers is all I can handle at the moment.. which leaves room for other expenses..

This from the Mod and "Old School" RWG'r that has one of the coolest franken collections... I can tell the standards by which the original members adhered to.. The Black Steel .. of course relume not only for the SL but to fix the off centered dots... this doesn't bother me as much since the DLC came out 1:1 with the genuine.. The Deep Sea... As we all know it has "Flaws" ... in all likelyhood will probably be fixed in a later version.. but IMO not anytime soon.. maybe toward the end of next year or longer.. in a V4 version.. (hopefully) .. mine is on it's way to RWG's "Heart and Soul" for the new white/blue SL that just came out .. like all reps.. although the colour of the lume is good and it will last for hours in the dark.. the brilliant "SL" intensity is lacking.. The B&R 02-92-ST .... I really see the Graham C. makers mark on this..this is the strongest lume out of all the reps .. except for the Steel Fish ... oh and the Omega SMP's... it glows when I come out of a room that I am in for 5 minutes that has flourecent lighting.. but again does not last as long as the SL.. The BR is definately the "sleeper" for 08 .. and may very well be one of the most accurate and well machined cases .. and for your standards.. this strap is first rate!!!!!!! Sorry Marty.. I apologize for not stating this.. The crown is a screw down .. and the rubber grip is exceptional .. the threading does not feel like your classic rep thread.. it is top Q. !! smooooth.. You simply must see the CG's in person... if this maker took on the Panerai's there would be no need for any refitting of the CG's... the CG's are so flush to the case .. not a sliver of uneveness to be seen.. at least with the naked eye..

I had to order the yeller one... my collection is without any school bus looking dials

.. is the lume shot invisible ?? Joshua @Perfect Clones..

I retract what ever there was to imply that you may have been in a moment of dilerium implying that you were liking the SSSSSSSSSEI.. whateva dial.. .. how could I even think such garbaggggggge .. me thinks we both have been working too hard.. btw... we were dicussing the cases in this thread Doc ... time for a Holiday for you .. those all nighters can be killin.. The fact that I even got his rep . must mean I have somewhat good taste since you give it a thumbs up.. OK on to the next rep.

Closing out 2008 with these.. Seems like the year was not counted by Seasons but by released dates...

hahahhaaa... *cough*.. *choke* .. OK.. I'm OK.. just read this whilst biting on an apple .. as memory serves me.. someone (I will keep him anonymous ) told me he was going to get the "Sei_ _ _ ......... um.. Pro Divers dial (which IMO is as interesting as watching paint dry).. to which I replied .. I'm going for the numeric version ..But whom am I to contradict the "Doc"... Wear it well my Friend !!

Ahhhaa... I didn't feel it ma place to mention that you have toyed and handled the genuine Doc. . so I am glad that you posted your thoughts on this model.. as one of the members that really always research the genuine through and through It does have the maker of the graham's signature all over.. meaning the crisp lines in the lume and engraving..just the overall quality of workmanship in the rep. and for the price it is possibly "one" of the best of 08 .. I do like the Pro~dial in carbon though.. do you know if the genuine is DLC or PVD ? I am assuming DLC .. and is the genuine matte finish ?? The Pro dial does look like a better match to the carbon coat... IMO With all the end of the year releases that were being worked on in the last year.. the B&R 02 snuck in with all the bigger brands .. but just may turn out to be the best of the best..

It has a Asian ETA ~ 28k... very quiet though actually I cannot hear the rotor at all.. and keeping great time ... 3 weeks mostly on the winder now.. and yes,.. no ratcheting .. it would seem without handling the genuine that it would not the ratchet as there are no ticks .. It is very smooth turning .. not loose at all... by tight I meant very good feel to it .. not a "cheap" loose feel at all It is really growing on me .. and yes, not only looks goo (thanks) but the quality of this one is superb !! @robertk ... thank you , and yes you are correct in saying that this is one of the best reps "out of the box" of 08 @millsub.. thanks man !!

Man you guy's are shooting Magnum's .. I feel like I got a 22 cal. pee shooter.... OK.. waiting for my Tudor snowflake to fly back from the great North ...

That was invaluable info T !!.. a request to the maker from the dealer will be made..(regarding the hands) hopefully it can be corrected,.. the dealer is trying his best to alert the maker.. fingers crossed ..

BR-02-92-ST~ 1000 M There's really no need for a lot of commentary.. as Urabus Say's.. "tell me about that sexy BR" so here are the pics to "tell all" FYI .. all measurements match to the genuine.. case size.. the crystal is AR'd this is a very thick crystal so Chiefs AR would do wonders but if you like the blue hue it's there.. Genuine Replication Replication Genuine Brand Bell & Ross Series Br-02 Style Number BR-02-92-ST Designed For Men Features: Luminous and Helium Escape Valve Movement Type Swiss Automatic Mechanical Crystal Anti Reflective Sapphire Calendar Type Date Case Material Stainless Steel Case Width 44 mm Bezel Function Dive Bezel .... the rep functions like the genuine Crown Screw-Down Dial Color Black Band Material Rubber Clasp Type Buckle Water Resistance 1000 M .... rep is WP to 1000 microns... Warranty 2-Years Manufacturer ..... rep... NOT Close up of dial finish.. looks like powder coat. Not fully charged Summary: I am not really versed in the B&R.. but with this one you really don't need to be .. judging form the official web site pics .... this was an easy one as .. all I needed to do was shoot the pics.. comparing the images The dial seems to have a powder coat.. the hands a black wrinkle coat seems evident.. ... it looks 100 to me.. maybe I missed something.. This rep is no doubt first rate.. it has the HBB maker.. (Graham Chronofighter) .. Signature all over it.. crisp lume numerals and markers .. great machining... the inner bezel works IMO great.. tight snug but smooth, it has no gears.... in a rep class all it's own compared to other reps as far as quality .. weight.. dail accuracy.. the matte black is superb... wish this maker took the Rolex Deep Sea project... The strap quality is just getting better on all the reps .. and this one is no exception.. it is an exceptional strap.. i find no need to source a genuine strap.. It has taken another 9 months to get this one out .. hat's off to the maker for this one.. truely perfection (as far as the rep world goes) Thanks for viewing Aloha~Cheers Lani

Being that the date wheel is black it's harder to tell the recessed .. As for size of fonts... suggest we wait for the real deal to judge.. as lighting and angle can play a big part of the illusion ... thought we learned that one by now..

Wow.. Incredible collection of Frankens !! Awesome thread Tribal ! compared to all these I post my humble franken PO's .. the only frankens that I have at the moment with genuine dials (also gen hands, crystal and crown)

same same.. if you take out 2 links all you need to remove is 1 and so forth ... the ratchet adjustment is good for your macro adjusting if you have a wrist that varies in size to the weather and diet can't wait for the pics R...

I defiantely plan on learning from you S8 ... so the strobe flash looks like a better alternative to studio lighting.. I guess the only way is to get a upgraded flash and play with it.. thanks again.. I'm really looking forward to your pictorials now..

Hey Robbie.. how bout a "Readers Digest" condensed version.... kidding man .. jus bustin your you know what's... I'll just brew up more coffee so I can read this.. Does this mean your not gettin one ??

Thanks Urabus' and SD.. the BR is the most recent.. from Genuine sample.. I haven't had time to do a pictorial.. I'll find time this week for one.. it supposedly is spot on to the genuine.. we'll see.. @robertk love that BP.. should be getting ma BP back from Canada .. Ziggy's luming the markers ... with genuine pics provided by Delta T. .. I love the support of this place !! ya can count on pics..

T ... just to put your mind at rest.. mine took over 8 day's .. it's the luck of the draw with the Holiday mail traffic I guess.. for some reason my parcel arrived in a timely manner to Conus.. then with all the mail in Customs , it took longer.. and then they rerouted it to another County in Cali. ... so for what it's worth .. "tis the season" for slower than normal everything ... except bills..
