Watchnuts

Can't wait for the tear apart!

I don't think it will bother you too much when you finally get the watch. It,s usually very tiny flaws.

I've decided to reject this watch. Had a good look at the pics and not happy with the lume application, nor the print on the dial. Hopefully the next example they offer me will be better. Saying that, I've emailed puretime qc twice in the last 4 days and no response. :/ Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

They are on vacation until jan 3rd.

It's Breitling. Cool strap by the way.

Great! Made me laugh,

A guy on a different forum used a PAM watchband tube and a dremel. Looked very easy to make.

I would agree on the crown. It never feels good when tightening the crown. [censored], now you got me all worried.

Angus said it does, but is website does not mention it. So, not superlume!

Cool.

Just look at the SEL, than you know which one is the rep.

Will the strap ever loose it's vanilla smell? It's not too bad but I prefer it not to smell at all.

Welcome to the madness. The next Breitling I can recommend you is the Skyland Avenger V3.

Does it come with a bracelet?

They do not make the bracelet and according to Angus they are not going to. I just bought the Abyss black / white last week.

Great info. The 243 will be my next PAM.

Just ordered my first PAM. Still waiting for that catalog.

Thanks for the link. I tried to order the print catalog a few month ago but it never arrived. This will do for right now.

Here is the link for the catalog pdf download. No need to register.

The only thing what bothers me are the hands being totally off. The hands make the watch IMO.

Waiting patiently for the Superocean 44mm.

Thank you for the review BT. I'm looking for my next fix. Steelfish, Seawolf and Heritage versions are impossible or hard to find so I'm looking for the next big thing. Saw one at Costco for 5,5k the other day on rubber and it is slowly growing at me. Still have not made up my mind but I really like your review, matter of fact I like all of your reviews.

Do you still have your B01?

I voted for the Navitimer. I got a gen Old Navitimer II in 2002 and now it needs service. After I found out how much Breitling charges for a service I started to look for "Alternatives". That's one of the reasons why I'm here.

Thanks for the listings. The tweezers are really good. I got the Weitus #812 and #814 and their plastic ones. The finger condoms are good too.

But the screw driver set I do not recommend. The tips are junk and with tiny rust spots. Very rough and uneven. Two sizes are double and 0.5mm and 0.6mm are completely missing.

Thanks for the review. It's a cool watch and I always wondered how the quality is.

How is the A2836 movement holding up?

BT,

I'm new here and without your fantastic pictures reviews and insight I would be nowhere. I always loved watches, bought my first Roles DJ from my first salary. Got a Breitling from my wife and than I needed something new after several years. Bought a few boutique divers and collected a few Invictas in the meantime. But these where not really the watches I wanted. (Sold already most of them) Having a family now stopped me from buying the real stuff.

Now with having my first rep on it's way I feel rejuvenated. I love to tinker with things and this is exactly what I'll be doing with the new watches. Things I would never do with a gen. I already have a big list of tools I have to get and all thanks to you oldtimers.

This is all fresh for me and I'm really excited. I already spend countless hours on this forum into the early morning hours.

So thank you and all the other guys who made this forum work. I really like it here!!

Andy
