Nice patina!

I think it looks great. I'd put it on an ocean racer. I love Breitlings on rubber.

Don't own one but have always wanted one, since the very early days. There used to be a bit of a snob/ macho stigma against them. I think they like amazing, and love PVD'd 113 ir 114. The white Daylight looks great as well. 

Thank you! ordered both from Josh.

The KW, is this carried by PT as well as PC?

Thank you!

I apologize for my laziness but I thought I would ask the experts which version is the best? Or is there a version coming we are waiting for?

Thank you!

And BAM! First thing on TZ when I just checked.
No B&Ps though. Get him down to under $4000 and you have a great deal, especially if you don't plan on reselling.

I ended up selling my tri 024 for $3500 on TZ. The tri was starting to crumble in spots and the ass who I bought it from never told me. Thankfully he keeps using me as a reference so I get to kill some of his sales here and there.
I took a $800 hit on it in under a year. 

Anyway, scour TZ abnd then check every 6 hours and you might get a deal.

These are so good I would consider selling my gen.

The box that came with my gen U42 is beyond ridiculous. It easily weighs 5 lbs. I don't know who would sell a gen box without a watch though.

I had a gen, bought a second strap for it as well, and sold on TZ about 4 months later. It just didn't have the heft and feel I like in a watch. Straps are crazy expensive for LW.
Rep looks pretty great, I'd def buy a Spidolite if It gets made.

On another note ..be very gently with the quick date change.... if you can... avoid using it... they are reknowned for breaking and you wont fix it.... I think someone like Domi can make it more robust as long as its still working...

So there has been no improvement on this since the launch? I've been waiting, thinking they would eventually sort it out. Bummer.

How do I get one of those?! Hot!!

Exactly! I am very interested in a piece like this. Are they available for order?

Would be nice if they rep it. But then again it would take alot of time until they produce a decent rep (probably v3).

I don't know about that, they already have the watch done perfectly, they just need to nail the bezel. I would expect it will be near perfect right away if they pay attention to the ticks. Maybe the CB could be off but I never pay attention to the back anyway.

Edit- I didn't realize this was 47mm. You may be right.

Yep. Bell & Ross and Porsche Design watches don't seem to float peoples boats, which is a shame. They are less common, and less expensive to own the gen, so less likely to be called.

 

The popular reps that are built with reference so dissected gens (you know, the ones that say 'Superlumed with pixie dust' or ' AR done by Kristin Kreuk's bosoms') always have a tell on them. I've handled gens of BR02 and BR03s in Geneva airport and mine come very close indeed.

 

P.S. No way my wrist shot is going to be as good as yours!

Holy crap, it's at $455! Someone actually thinks they might get a steal.

Reported.

I live in manhattan. If you want a good rep ill stand out on canal st and sell you a PO I have up in the trade section.

Problem solved!

So my watch arrived today! Looks great. Really surprised considering how cheap it was. Tried it on, felt good...then I took it off and the strap popped out of the case!

Looks like I just need to tighten the strap screws. Anyone know what size screwdriver is needed? I'll have to make a trip down to the DIY store!

Thanks.

Congrats on your watch.

A great first lesson that thankfully happened right away. Always check your screws immediately. I personally don't use loctite but I know many members do. And watch those rad screws, very hard to position and screw in without stripping and very easy to lose.

That is pretty crazy they would simply swap CBs and send new pics. But obviously that's what they did. Shady.

A year ago this would have been a really nice purchase, though the pin looks pretty off to me. Beyond that, it's fine. The issue is the Noob is so good that this pales. The other issue is you can't find a noob anywhere so this will have to do. The noob is so good that I would consider selling my gen 111 if I could get one.

For me, this watch is incredible in pics and in person. The little details are awesome. I just never loved it on me so I sold mine. Yet I like seeing it on others, particularly on mesh.

Ted Su ain't cheap, but they make some of the nicest straps around.

I love it, and I expect we will be seeing a very close rep very soon.

Looks great!

Ok I understand it allows us to be more accurate when setting the time but I have no idea why someone would want to go to lengths to obtain this small advantage. The extra expense, hassle and time is hard to justify to be able to obtain a few more seconds of accuracy

I agree, but hanging around here for a while, I've seen some pretty anal mods.
