Gen or Rep?

Good to know its a Gen , better to check and save someones hard earned $$$$ , however honestly i must say that the Rep i have looks a"little" bit better than the one in the picture being auctioned , in terms or AR and the lume dots..Maybe just the quality of the seller's pic. @cougaree I have number 0261

While i was looking over the bay for some Breitling parts, found one BS for auction, ending in less than a day, after looking at the images, i find it hard to believe thats a gen, the lume dots looks too thick and not centered, if i remember correctly its suppose to be flat? anyways here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Breitling-Super-Avenger-Blacksteel-/120629024082?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item1c160cd552 lets see what you guys think, if its indeed a gen, excuse my noob mistake

Thankyou so much for the replies G & Jkay , the problems on the movement is pretty clear now. As for servicing it, as much as i want to send em out for servicing soon, i need to save up abit before anything, as a uni student, $$$ dont come that easily but i really appreciate all the replies guys! Hope i can fix this issues soon.

Thanks alot for your help txcollector i will give them a try later on, as of yesterday i noticed that the min and hour hands does stuck when the auto date change is engaged, i then set the date, as soon as the date changes, it all works fine again..till this morning with correct to the sec. like you mentioned, even though it seems pretty simple, i just dont have the correct tools and experience yet. So, ill be keeping an eye on them for another few days, but id def. need it to be checked properly by a watchsmith. Thanks again mate.

@geo1nah2a I also suspect it have to do with the date change, as far as i remember, i always followed the advice to change the date only at specific times of the day, so i always do it with the hands around 5..anyways, Thanks alot for your input!

@krpster Thanks mate, i'll give it a full test tonight and see if its still having issues, but i think there is something that stuck in the wheel train, as i tried to check if all chrono hands would work, i realized that the hour chrono counter hands does not change even after 2 hours of testing the chrono, hope its gonna work out fine. @sander the hands are not touching any parts, as i mentioned 10.50 AM and other times works fine, only when it approaches 10.50PM and will not move until i set it back about 11.20 PM manually

Thanks for the fast reply krpster i also do suspect something is stuck somewhere,but the funny thing is it only happens at night, no adjustments needed at any AM time..so i wonder if there is really something that got stuck or other problems to do with it , I will wait and observe for a few more days before i send them out for servicing or repair. Thanks again.

Hello guys, after a few weeks of reading and learning tons from this wonderful forum, i got myself a rep, its a beautiful watch and made really well but, i am having some problem with the movement, i tried to look for same problem from others but cant really find something related to my problem, the movement is working pretty good through out the day, keeping good time, however the problem starts late at night where the hour and minute hands will stuck around 10.50+PM, after adjusting the hands forward about 11.20PM its works fine once again, also the small seconds seems to work without any problem..its weird that it have no problem at all the whole day, only at that specific times, it makes me wonder if it have something to do with the date change and dust in the movement? i know i cannot solve this by myself, but it would be nice to know whats causing this issue. Thanks in advance for your replies

Really nice watch! i was torn between the calibre 36 and SA BS, but the missing "200" on the bezel really bugs me, ive only seen this on pvd 36's tho..that said, its a really nice watch. Wear it well
