I'm viewing the pic on a crappy iPhone screen and can see the shocking lume application, it's TERRIBLE!!!!! What a piece of crap... Edit: Also, look at the 10, 12 and 14 bezel markers and how horribly inconsistent the enamel application is... That's shocking! Plus the PVD looks crap, I think it's TiAlN, which fingerprints like crazy.

Not sure if a girl's wrist can pull off a 44mm mini Fiddy. I'll try a 44mm Luminor on a friend's wrist tomorrow, she always says the 111 is so 'manly'

It's refreshing to see that they can at least justify their high prices somewhat by offering an in-house movement, something that much younger companies such as Maurice Lacroix have been doing for some time now...

That splash of red completes the look and feel of it... Dave is right though, that lume dot looks a big green pus-filled pimple that is about to blow... Though he may not have expressed his sentiments with quite the same level of specificity

The Porsche from the opening sequence of Le Mans? That really is a classic.

An engineer wouldn't be doing his job properly if he designed something to last forever... He'd have nothing else to engineer!

I am quite certain that no animal was harmed in the making of that strap Crude oil, on the other hand...

Unixshark has had me jealous the last few days, so had this one on today...

well they are, there's no denying that feminine logic... I've never understood why a woman needs so many handbags, I suppose our multiple-watch obsession can be a bit of a mystery to them...

Wow... Was this tough to come across? Looking forward to the end result

A video of me taking care of my scrote? Or one of me teabagging a willing participant's chin?

I suppose the preorder ensures the first deliveries, also Angus has suggested that those customers that are not happy with the final outcome will have their payments refunded. I agree with you, but cautiously optimistic they'll do a decent job on this one.

The luminor case is very nice, but like you I'm hanging out for the 1950s case models. Let's hope they fix all the issues before production begins.

Now that the pictures and info are released, what is the general consensus on the new Angus 312/320/359 models? Who is preordering?

I've heard good things about these too... Tough choice for the OP, but between $50-$150 there are many decent choices. Logitech buying out Ultimate Ears only affected the consumer end. UE still have their dedicated custom shop where they make bespoke, custom earphones based on an audiologist's measurement of your ear canal... Pretty sweet stuff, and not inconceivably expensive.

Which rep is closest to resembling the actual functions of the original? I would have thought adding a GMT hand was a few gears, and the 30s counter is simply different gear ratios. Of course every gear train mod brings the datewheel lower and lower and lower... That GMT really is beautiful...shame it goes for so much in Gen form. Might give it the once-over at an AD.

Sorry, double post. Stupid iPhone Wi-Fi!

The 005K is probably the best luminor case rep, you'll notice the difference between a 005K and a 111 is simply the added logo on the front, they ae basically identical. Straps are to personal taste, some like the OEM straps and others would rather go for something custom. There are many strapmakers on the forum, and plenty of new and lightly used straps in the sales sections, can't go wrong. Just my advice, buy your 005 and get out while you can... I was like you once, thought I'd just get a nice navitimer and that would be it.. Good luck, have fun mate

Can't you call Breitling as a Jeweler, say you're doing a job and need a part at trade price? I don't know about installing a rep crown tube in an otherwise gen SA mate

No Bollo, thank YOU for the awesome pictorial...

And in other news, subbiesrock is having a BLOWOUT sale on ALL Breitlings, slashed to clear!!!

Come on Deniz! You let me make a fool of myself and then have a 60% shot of getting it right? I wondered the same about the second clasp (missing slot bits) but the engraving was completely off. I'm going to plead a defense, I'm seeing this pic on an iPhone 3GS without Retina Display

Maybe they just use my watch as an excuse to chat me up and get in my pants Dave, i really don't know. I just line them up dead in the eye, and I tell them, listen ladies, just because you're 5'11" and drop dead gorgeous, doesn't mean you're going to ply me with Hennessy cognac and have your dirty, sweaty way with me, OK? I MAY have on a droolworthy PAM, but I have feelings... A little respect! Sheesh...supermodels... jokes aside, they do love the PAMs (wow, it's big but it's so manly!) and then they look up at my wrist... Back on point (I hope the OP forgives our rather amusing digressions) this Gen PAM 329 is where it's at for me. I vote it Best All-Rounder on the bracelet (no way I'm bringing a gen croc anywhere near a drop of water ). You know what? I'll say it. next Bond Watch... There, I said it. It had to be said! If he could sell his soul and drive a BMW for two movies, then he can DAMN SURE wear a PAM *cowers from the Omega Fanboys and the inevitable gang beatdowns*

For all your tatts, I know you're just a big softie Pete, and you wouldn't make me feel bad I had two stabs at it, and now I retreat to my hole and contemplate my rep knowledge and question all that I've learnt in the past year haha I've signed up for email notifications on this one and looking forward to your upcoming PAM deployant rep/gen lesson
