Yes, I got an SS rep based on photos taken straight on but the rep is much thicker and larger than the gen and misses that beautiful curvature of dial and glass. I was very disappointed with it and haven't really worn it since I saw a gen.

Which fonts did you use?

I found some photos of an original, I can see differences on the dial, crown, back and bezel insert but the overall effect is good. I'm always glad to see a new vintage rep. A little ageing makes all the difference, plus, who's really going to know all the variations that were available 40 years ago. I think I'd try it on a mildly beaten up watchadoo bracelet, or on leather.

Maybe the first 2, I'm not as familiar with them. I _think_ the Moonwatch has had a few different case backs in it's lifetime and the Daniels Co-Axial movement came in more recently, with associated text changes on the dial.

Does this model take regular ground coffee or those espresso capsules?

It's his watch, he paid for it. I see a difference between modding a new Gen and modding a vintage one. Pimping a classic Mercedes is wrong because it destroys the patina and originality of the car but getting AMG or whoever to go mad on a new one is fine. Taking a 6538A Sub and PVD coating it would be shameful but it's fine to do it to a new Sub, Rolex can always make more of those. This mod is exactly like ordering a Pro-Hunter (plus or minus some taste).

I'm just curious - what watches are currently in production unchanged for the longest time? I know there are long lived names and styles but todays Rolex Submariner has changed a lot from that of even the 1980's - can you think of any that haven't?

engraved logo? Forgive me for dragging an old thread back but it addresses a question I have. I vaguely remember seeing photos of 2 rep cases, one having the breitling wings logo engraved somewhere on the side of the bezel near the top and the other not. Is that true for either of these? Do you have photos showing how it should look? thanks in advance

OK, was wondering what had happened but didn't have access to the forum for a while (work proxy)

and I did find this review from a gen site

Hi - I was looking for a quartz moonwatch rep and browsing Omega Speedie Pro's when I saw the abomination unique style of the Omega Speedmaster Pro X-33 (which I understand they've discontinued for some reason. Has anyone bought one, or reviewed a rep against gen?

Looking at Milanese Straps I wonder which of them is the best match to the factory Breitling meshes? I'd guess one of the heavy mesh, shiny steel but it's hard to tell without a side by side comparison.

PHEW: It arrived yesterday in the post - no bits falling off and it keeps reasonable time. As mentioned it's not high beat which is a shame but I'm just glad to get anything at this stage. I just adjusted the bracelet and will wear it as is for a few weeks before picking a strap. Thanks for everyones contributions.

UPDATE: seems to be under way
