Thanks for the feedback! Very excited about my first gen, I LOVE this watch and hate that the rep isn't that great, so I have been trying to get my hands on a gen for a while. One last question, the crowns on this watch to not screw in like the superocean right? On this one it seems it just pulls out and pushes in, and winds in the pushed in position. As for paperwork and box, he said he does have it somewhere and is happy to give it to me, he just has to find it. That doesn't surprise me, the guy loses everything. I have known him for years and was never worried that HE would rip me off, more that at one point in his life he got ripped off. He doesn't know much about watches so that was my only concern. All that being said, the strap is in pretty rough shape as the leather was never cared for over the years, where is the best place to grab a new gen strap? Thanks again for all your help!

oh man that pic makes me feel so much better. Looks pretty much exact unless I am missing something obvious. The Date wheel on yours puts a lot of my worry at ease. Thank you for posting that!

So I have a friend who is selling me his Brietling Navitimer. He has had it for a few years and when he bought it everything seemed legit. Now that I am about to pay him a lot for it, I want to make sure it is real. I DID read Andrews guide which was VERY helpful, but big purchases make me really nervous. As proof I read the guide here are some things that make me believe it is genuine... 1. The outer wheel numbers are close the the edge, you could definitely NOT fit 2 on top of each other. 2. The date for the 4th takes up the entire date opening and matched the font i see on genuine pics 3. the groves on the case are deep and much better then the rep i use to have, also a bit harder to turn where as my rep was loose. 4. It has a model number and serial number, is there an easy way to take that info and look it up? 5. The outer circle is also more silvery then pure white. 6. The lume is incredible and my buddy knows nothing about the rep watch market so he wouldn't be the guy who would buy one and then get it modded or even know where or how to do that. My cautions: 1. Only one really is how everyone says to watch out for a sunken date wheel. It looks a little sunken but I am not sure how deep it is supposed to be? Thoughts?!?!

Sadly, no, I think I asked every dealer on here, hehe. Hopefully they will make a better REP and release a v2. I will be first in line to order, such a beautiful time piece.

As you can imagine I am absolutely devastated after losing my favorite watch and then finding out they are no longer in production I have been searching for a good replacement and was thinking about grabbing a Superocean Heritage Chrono SS. Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this rep or possibly some other good replacement? Thanks!

Hey Guys - I joined this forum and bought a watch the first day, it arrived today and now I am hoping to get a little help. I swear i did a ton of different searches before creating a new topic because I couldn't really find what i needed. I am trying to get the watch going, I managed to get the watch moving (mostly from me just manual rotating the watch) I tried following videos on how to wind it but I just don't think I am doing it right. I know the movement is 7750. I am definitely a n00b but hopefully some of you where at one time too My other questions other then how to wind it properly, is the other hands on the watch. The second dial is moving smooth as it should but the 24 hour dial is still set right on 12. I think maybe this is because I don't know how to set it properly. Now for prolly the biggest noob question... I know if i press the top side button the timer starts and that works, but what is the other have with the big red arrow on it and what does that do? Thanks for not being too mean! edit: I forgot to mention, the watch LOOKS AMAZING!
