I will consider both working and NON-working.....

Otherwise it's off to BOB.....

And why am I listed as NEW Member.... I've been here since 06???

I need some advice.... I bought a sub (swiss mvmnt) from one of the former cartel members a few years back. It's been great, made some mods, recessed the insert blablabla... anywho, I'm having issues with bezel rotation, amount of clicks stuff like that. Any suggestions who to go to for a new bezel? Thanks

Looking for a White SFSO Swiss I could go to one of the boys but maybe someone's out there is looking to find s good home for theirs. Conus would be nice.

no offense to you...... the souless point was directed at Jeff ...... my point is simple... not all are interested in movement. Many are interested in appearance. Sorry if that came off the wrong way.

Is it more highbrow? hmmm.... are all people who have Tags posers and don't apreciate the watch world??? Miguel.... you have one are you a loser? Listen, I love the art of the movement(s)..... but I know that there are many out there that have the same feeling as Chris..... in that... the movement is somewhat interesting but their feeling is "I like the look and feel, I don't know or care about the movement, and if you gave me a choice between a long lasting, accurate watch or a possible problem (for $200-$300) I'll take the "...... I'm open to accept that side of it..... because lets face it.... while many of us on the board care...... twice as many out there don't.
And my question to Miguel's out there...... if there was a quartz that produced a second hand as smooth as a gen rolly..... would you never buy it? If so, why did you buy the Tag?
(((now add the issue that some of our dealers have been passing off Asian reps for Swiss ETA, or 21.6 for 28.8....)))
Just looking at both sides boys...... there are more opinions than just our geeked out watch ones. I know my wife thinks I'm crazy with all the watch bs.
no-so-nubee

I'll speak out on behalf of many like Chris....... Soul smoul. you produce a quartz that is a spot on rep, with an extremely reliable movement and watch the sales. Yes there are many that love the mechanics of the reps.... but let's say you love the Daytona's.... the movement with correct sub spacing and correct running seconds is a definite draw back...... definitly in the Asians..... you provide a quartz or like movement that gives you the gen features with out all the extra gears.... you think it wont sell because it lacks soul.... don't be silly.
Daytona was just and example..... please don't reply with how much draw it be on a quartz blablabla...just a for instance

Seems as tho Sash is selling an EVO with what seems to be a more authentic font.... 1's have sharifs as opposed to the stick ones.... if the photo is correct. Anyone have this version????
-
You won't get any better than this. If you want a more accurate BCE, it'll have to be a genuine.
There is actually a group working to get a mod datewheel....
-
I was under the impression that the font (on all versions including ultimate) are sticks? I brought this up to josh, who I've bought plenty of reps thru....
Question: any chance of the EVO getting a more accurate date wheel (better 1s, 6s, and 8s?
Exact Answer: No, Current rep is great enough... joshua
Two things it seems to lack.... and only to use picky sob's is the font and the laser etched #s on the bezel. Laser is much more defined on the gen.
I am dying to get one.

You are completely right. There is a process of a watch being released and then it being upgraded and resold as the next generation at a later date.
I have lost count of the amount of Planet Ocean's that have been released over the time I have been on this board. It seems to have got to a point where the Ultimate BCE is the final edition. If it's not, it might be a long time before another is released purely becuase it's just so damn good, there isn't that much to change.
Watches like the Steelfish, and basically the 'super reps' are unlikely to see a next generation in the foreseeable future.
This is just my view, I may be completely wrong and we may see one next week, who knows
They'll come out with the new date and upgraded bezel engravings....... two days after I buy the older version I'm sure
-
You might be waiting for a very long time. It is unlikely the factory will bring out another generation of watches when it is almost 100% accurate already. It wouldn't be cost effective to do so. Also we have to remember it is only a rep, if you want it 100%, you'll have to buy the gen, there are always going to be some flaws somewhere, even if they are small!
Ahhhhhh.... that is correct... which is why i ask... look at the thread(s) on both this board and RWI... you'll see people, many, willing to go thru the process, pay, try..... to mod a better font. That said, if people are willing to do that..... i would bet they would pay a couple $ xtra to have one. much like the pre buy of months ago for the mod'd EVO. just a thought
-
The only way to make it 100% to chronomat evo date font, is to get a genuine, take the date font out. Then get a 1:1 copy of the font, print them out for the 7750, and refit it all. This is a time consuming and difficult project and sounds far too simple the way I have just phrased it.
I would stick with the fontalready in there, no body will notice, unless they also have the same replica, or are outstandingly observant and in which case, they know far too much about Breitlings and their datewheels hehe
I'll wait..... I'm sure a mod or new gen will appear.... Orrrrrrr, buy the gen 2, and only wear it on days without a 1 or single digit in it

Thanks for the help.
I was a bit worried that the reps don
Looking for Sub Head (w/out movemnt)
in General Discussion
Posted
Soooo here's the deal. I have a very nice movement looking for a new body. The sub head it was originally in go somewhat trashed. If anyone is looking to get rid of either the head with crystal or one with a bad or broken movement PM me and maybe we can work a deal. On the other hand if anyone knows where I can buy just a head and crystal let me know Thanks all.
