There should be a silver clip holding the movement to the case .. but you need to remove the crown also.. I assume you know how to do this ??

mmm I think your correct.. Ziggy swapped my 029 and it's the same crystal.. dun know then.. strange huh ...

andreww would probably be the best at answering those concerns.. as they look good to me but he could be a little more objective and his knowledge is far superior to mine.. btw.. thank you ..

Isn't the 063 a sanwich dial cyclops.. meaning the cyclops is embedded between a sapphire and a mineral crystal .. ?? if this is the case you are not going to be able to swap mags even if you do get the crystals apart.. I could be wrong.. but I thought it was a sanwich ??

... Thank you !! who said they didn't miss it on purpose.. just food for thought.. although with opinions (like mine) the pantry is always full !!! EDIT . to ADD: .. an added plus or feature on this replication is INDIVIDUAL SERIAL NUMBERS

.. LOOKS GREAT asi ......... hope you resolve the issue with the DW.. Live Strong and Wear it Well

Yeah... Blue ray is the coolest !!! .... using a play station (cheaper instead of the Blueray player itself) .... jus finished a 01 Partagas Lucitania..mmmmm .. tomorrow then !! Salamat Po !! R

Hey V.. recieved my 2 this week.. Thank You.. I am not going to have time to get them fitted right away.. but just having them is great !!!! You were up and up with the entire manufacture and delivery... weather they are "perfect" .. well beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. and from where I stand .. I am happy !!! no one else stepped forward with this at this time.. You stated that you are making something off this project.. and I for one really appreciate the candor.. speaking for myself .. i would do it again .. so thanks again .. now my Ziggy modded piece with your CG is complete... for now ... this hobby is a never ending tale.. Aloha~Cheers Lani

That's not very nice you really know how to get to a guy.. that's kind of "below the belt"... {punk.. I mean pun intented} OK.. grey sand not ours... and the bums are not tanned enough.. but I can imagine light tan lines looking forward (again I'll say) to your pics.. I hope you feel as much "passion" for shots of the Heritage as you do these pics.... P.S. ... i hope therapy helped you to get away from hangin at the local high schools...

Cammmmon.. Hike...... at this rate my brown dial will be in the tropics before yours .... btw..that pic of the ill clad lady .. the sand looks like my side of the island.. fine windward silt...those waters look like Lanikai's beaches.!!!! the models not bad either

cronsell !!!!! good to see you back brah !!!... hope everything went well with your move.. it wasn't the same with out your wrist shopts !!!!.. welcome baaacK !!!!!!!!!!!!1

All your iphones are so good because EU members have superior WIFI over your counterparts.. ... I have a Blackberry only because were I to get an iphone it would be slower than dial up here... the 2nd generation has just been released here.. and it's going on special for 199.00 usd.. pretty good.. but unless the providers have upgraded their services .. it's all for not... but I'm happy with my BB.. but an iphone would be wicked COOL !!!!

Thank you prof.. in this case it was or is the "song and not the singer".. I just got home and the Heritage is in it's winder and is still spot on .. I would imagine that the PR on the Asian ETA.. would be 48 hours.. except for the rotor.. which will quiet with some lubing.. I believe the asian ETA is worth it's wieght... since soon the ETA's will be harder to find in bulk... after Ziggy services this I really believe th diference will not be noticable.. it's 28.8 k .. I do believe we have a winner here.. The price for this piece is great !! this crystal will have to wait as i had already chosen the ones that I have had for a long time.. I can wait .."hurry up and wait" that is.. btw... id you get the parts for the PO ?? Looking forward to your pics .. the black dials never gets old, and the gold B should be very nice....

SAWEEETT

UPdate:.... movement is working well.. it's on a winder and may have loss 5-10 seconds from yesterday.. but seems pretty much spot on.. i did not synchronize the seconds so hard to tell.. running very smooth though.. thanks P4 and jmt .... the Brown dial is probably going to be the "richest" looking out of the two colours other than the Black

Thank you S...... yes the brown dial is Rich and very Deep in colour .. got that one coming.. then I'll decide which one I'll keep.. I think it may very well be the Chocolate version Still the 1655 is "always on ma mind" ...

Thanks ALL.. i am not in the same league as the premiere members.. toad .. Andreww.. et all .. but it's something.. don't have much energy when I finished I had been up 20 hours.. sheesh it was not fun getting up at 12 am.. anyway what do you think should it go to chief for his AR ?? Although back in 1957 there was no Chief ... and to repeat.. LOGISTICS (HAWAII) ...LOGISTICS..(CHINA) and thanks ToadT

SOH....

If a genuine is purchased and there are different colour dials, in which all will be repped and one of them is Blue.. the Blue dial will always be the chosen genuine.. re: there are subtle differences in Blue .. how many times have we seen that the dial does not match the genuine in colour ? the finish of the dial ;;matte.. satin.. glossy .. will alter the colour also .. examples would be the Tag blue .. the Aquatimer Blue.. BCE blue .. CD and Slevin Blue... Black has many variations also.. black is not "Black".. it could have more brown or red mixed ... when working with Auto Paints... and thinking black is black and white is white ... you would be surprised to discover how many variations to this colours there are.. but it is much easier to "eyeball" those colours than it is Blue.. If you go back a year to the Breitling web site they had a very detailed specs area with all the info you needed to get measurements etc. it has changed somewhat and that info is no longer available.... Ad's are very protective over their literature.. in fact they don't give it out at all.. you have to purchase the timepiece first.. that's like going into a car dealership and not being allowed information until you purchase the car.. I asked about this a year ago and collectors said that they can no longer replicate through pics because it was obvious the web sites are not accurate to the real piece.. why the graphic drawings and not a pic of the actual timepiece ?? this is especially with Breitling.. coupled with the utube release.. there are too many consistencies to think of this as just coincidence.. don't you think ? And Being in Hawaii .. and the reps coming from China .. I order these at the same time as everyone on the mainland US.. but logistically it will arrive here first... V's CG's were sent from EU coming the opposite direction... Mainland members receive theirs 2 day's before me.. just a matter of logistics.. and again to firm up... this is NOT a V-2 .. 2nd edition.. it is from a different maker and had nothing to do with the other makers Heritage It was made from the genuine as sample.. and was started the day the genuine was released to the AD.. so I don't want to get into a comparison thread of which is the more accurate rep.. I chose to wait for this maker.. that's all..

Well as a Journeyman .. I missed that important bit of Information by a country mile !!!" ... the movement needs oiling IMO .. the rotor is your usual Asian noise maker when put up close enough to your ear... btw.. what type of oil is used for the rotor if I just want to apply it myself ?? I cannot really feel the gears when I give it a few turns just to get the mainspring started.. since this is an Asian copy of ETA.. I really don't want to hand wind it more than just to get it started.. It wouldn't take too much to swap this with an ETA.. but I guess it would depend on how much wrist time you put into it.... I am contemplating sending the crystal with the rest of my batch tomorrow to chief for AR... I am a little undecided.. but it would certainly bring out the dials full potential ...if I take the movement out I will surely take pics today and ad them to the thread If this piece could get your "thorough" REVIEW ... that would really be great A .. thanks for the support Makes you think hard about buying anymore reps that has not been made using the original as smaple ... one pic in a magazine may vary from the web site .. so what do you do then ?? . not to long ago all reps were made with pics... now it's a cat and mouse game with the brands and the dealers thanks RK ... another one to add to your stables .. cannot wait till the Chrono is released .. should be in the next couple of months. Thanks Hike.. looking forward to your Brown dial.... Yes .. I water tested it thoroughly at the risk of my health !!!.. it drizzeld in Kaneohe this morning ... and the Heritage held up under extreme circumstances..... I made it through the parking lot all the way to my vehicle without any problems..haven't shower tested it yet .. I'm fully certified to do any ...err.. I mean lufa any of those models in your avatar.. ... a small sacrifice.. that I would be willing to do for the cause,.. just let me know.........please @phaedo ... this Rep is relly hard to beat for the price..

The Superocean Heritage.. Blue dial This is not a version 2 of the SOH... it is not to "correct flaws" from another replication.. this rep is from a totally different maker.. it was started the day that the genuine was released to the AD.. bought by the collector and given to the maker.. To be fair to all collectors and makers I will not post comparisons of the 2 different SOH's .. you decide for yourself.. to the Newcomer... if you stick with the Forum Collectors you will not run the risk of going off site with scammers and poor customer service.. I do not promote my collector.. his replicas speak for themselves.. so arm yourself with the info and stick with RWG... these guy's really know their technical info !!.. I am not sponsored nor accept free watches for what I do for the community.. "We are self supporting through our own contributions".. so if you are new .. our forum needs capital to operate.. we need to pay rent to the cyberlords..not to the keepers of this site.. so please donate if you can or join "supporter status" it helps us stay here for you .. nuff of that.. no need to compare movements the rep is an Asian ETA auto 28.8k ..the genuine is a in house Breitling movement.. (did I just compare?) case.. 46 mm Lug width..24 mm screw down crown uni directional bezel... 120 clicks solid engraved case back clasp.. single deployment Dial.. very fine satin finish Lettering is very lightly raised Minute Markers ..polished SS/ with lime dots on outer dial numeral minute markers @3-6-9-12 are barely raised as are the ticks Date window .. recessed @6; date change via crown Edit to Add: one added feature to this replication is Individual serial numbers Note:.. the hands ARE silver not gray and do not flicker with angles .. it is my lighting that makes them appear like the old rep "ultimate" BCE.. so don't worry about the accuracy of the hands they are SILVER as the genuine Rehaut looks very good if not spot on!! The Breitling web site has deleted the Heritage from it's catalogue edit add: I forgot to mention they (Breitling) also deleted the thorough specs section of their site.... Jon Font Posted a thread on the utube Breitling "concern".. remember since the makers have gotten these replications so good.. the Breitling web site has been printing erroneous colors to their reps.. in other words not accurate to their own timepiece.. the reasons are obvious and Ad's no longer give out free brochures .. I was told point blank .. "because of the "counterfeits" .. so don't put too much stock in the slight difference in colour and the size of the crown.. when comparing the "drawing" of the genuine.. the collectors have posted the genuine and the replication side by side on the board.. you see if you can tell the difference..i cannot.. Jon Forts "fake" utube by Breitling .>>http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=76148 look here for genuine and replication side by side ...>> http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=76196 Genuine on the left ..(colour) not accurate to their own timepiece.. Date font is .. very well done.. no variations in alignment.. each numeral is spot on !! alignment is there !! The crown is one of the best I have seen in my time with the breitlings.. very well machined and finished the teeth are even and deeply grooved ... look at the machining of the grooves... excellent !!! these screws hold in the bezel they are not faux screw.. there are 6 starting at the 1 marker and following with the 3-5-7-9-10 120 clicks and very very positive "tight" and the bezel does not shake or have any amount of "play" it is one of the best ones to date as far as functionality............. correct numerals on the case.. laser etching is looking Great !!! VERY CRISP AND CLEAN.. The B looking SWEET ......... the edges on the lugs are a little.(just slightly)sharp.. nothing a dremel and polishing wheel won't cure the genuine has a little alteration in the case under the crown.. this is evident on the replica.. this is the difference in a replication using a genuine.. attention to detail.. it is almost a given now with the brands altering their pics.. replicas used to rely on pics to use for their replications.. so genuine copies are almost a must these day's..IMO The all important Case Back... very deep crisp, clean engraving.. No sharpness to the engraving at all !! numbers are correct very well done !! Wrist shots Gang!!! Granted this is a Asian ETA... 28.8k the second needle is so long it may make a difference in it's movement .. I am not the expert.. this is just my "take" on the timepiece.. I have received numerous Pm's asking for more information...How can I say this so not to seem uncaring.. (I cannot)... there are many members who devote their time and energy,... this has taken me 4 hours plus.. there are others...Bytor... andreww..sea dweller.. toad torrent.. chrgod... freddy333.... and countless others who "give" and also support the forum in donations.. so for this reason.. would like to "help" everyone.. but I think I need to "take care of our own"..meaning the members who support this place so it will be here for everyone.. I have sent parts all over the world for no cost... I am a proponent of teamwork and helping members.. but to be fair.. I choose to (from now.. things may change.. ) help those who pitch in to help us "all" .. think about donating 5- 10 usd or the best.. become a supporter.. we need you all !!! there is no other forum with the kind of members (full of years of information) .. I am not one of those experts.. just a member who wants to see this community here for everyone ... Aloha and thanks for viewing.. good luck in your search for the "perfect" replica.. it is the Journey not the destination !!! other members will be getting the Brown dial in .. looking forward to your posts and pics !!! edit Addd: I promised a Lume shot to Edwin.. sorry E.. the lume needs "charging" it won't be ready to shoot a lume shot for another day.. it's not that brilliant .. hope the lume will get better like the Rolex 116710GMTIIc did after a couple of day's .. but regardless only the hands will lite up (hopefuly)...the dots on the markers are very tiny.. needs Ziggy !! thanks again Lani.. Work in Progress.... I'm working on more now !!! ..CONGRATS BOSTON.. EMOTIONAL WIN.. I'M HAPPY FOR THEM ALL!!!! still working..

Got It !!.. give me some time to take pics of this Big Boy... hey,... Breitling removed the Heritage from their official site... "Run Forest... Run..." good thing I save pics...before they did

R... it's been a very pricey YEAR!!!
