I decided to go with B01 inspite of the infamous sunken DW and mixed comments about it's look. I went with burgundy roman numerals and rubber strap. I think it gives it a dressy look yet rugged with the rubber strap. Plus I like the unconventional color.
First Impression
The AR is pretty decent. The blue tint does not show unless held in certain position.
The numbers of the bezels are very close to the gen. However, gen has rounded corners whereas this one has squared corners. It is barely noticeble unless you see it at a 6" distance and you are a "RWGfied"
The weight is heavy! It feels like a rock on your wrist which is what makes breitling a breitling. I think they did a good job with it.
The pearl is very impressive. They were able to nail it. Compared to other Breits, this one is very close to gen.
Beware
The infamous sunken DW. Yes, it is there but once you get over that fact, it's acceptable. Plus, it is not noticeable when you where. No one is going to stare at the datewheel to figure out if its gen or rep.
The white markers on dail (yellow circle) are not same as gen. In gen, every second marker it thicker than rest.
The 3,6,9 lumes are slightly smaller than gen (I think). In gen those lumes are same size as 12 o'clock lume.
I didn't get a chance to take marco photos yet. I'll do that this weekend, however, here are couple to compare with gen.
Enjoy!
