Seawolf V2 Yellow ordered up from Trusty
hansmeier replied to B3nj4min3's topic in The Breitling Area
Congrats Ben! This beauty arrived safely (and super fast) at you, so wear her in good health! -
I don't believe in the rumors about a new Navitimer rep at end of year... On RG there is a thread about "proper Navitimer", Angus is active there (me to, hehe...), but current status is only that he is TRYING to convince the noob maker to make an improved Navitimer rep. Atm there are NO plans to do, unfortunately... So everyone is invited to ask for an improved Navitimer rep in this thread - the more are asking for, the better are the chances for a Navitimer super rep!
-
Try asking Puretime for the Navitimer - about 2 month ago a member of a German rep forum was able to buy a Navitimer from them, so maybe Puretime has still some stocks... Good luck mate!

Wohaaa, what a stunning watch! Congrats Martijn, that's really a beauty - wear her in good health! And thanks for sharing these awesome pics, great art of photography

Another confirmation that Tapatalk (v4, Android) shows participated threads from other boards perfectly, but not here.

Seawolf V2 Yellow ordered up from Trusty
hansmeier replied to B3nj4min3's topic in The Breitling Area
The SS bracelet isn't polished (the bracelet of the Skyland Avenger is polished) - this bracelet including the clasp is brushed. I think it's a very nice variation, the most Breitling bracelets are shiny polished, so this is my first brushed Breitling bracelet... The case of the Seawolf is a mix of polished (sides) and brushed (bezel, case top side) elements. The same mix is on the dial: polished triangle at 12, polished hour markers at 6 and 9, polished surrounding of the date window and matte numbers. I'm sure you'll enjoy this beauty very, VERY much! -
I didn't believe that they are still in stocks and was very surprised that they are... Got QC pics within ONE day, shipping was also super fast (12 calendar days including UK transshipment to mainland EU) - Andrew did an amazing job! Thanks a lot Andrew!!!

Peace mates... Generally speaking for Breitling reps there are 2 factories which assemble the parts: noob (N) fac and H fac. There are small differences, both facs have their pros and cons, depending on the particular model. The Seawolf you are interested in is known as a very decent rep - I got mine (yellow dial) yesterday from Trustytime, and I'm very satisfied! Puretime is very close with noob fac, Trustytime is more on the H fac side. Both dealers are TDs here, and both have plenty of reviews to get a feeling about how they run their business. Hope this helps a little bit!

Hehe, arrived today!!!!!

For example: http://www.rwgforum.net/index.php?/topic/159356-Swiss-ETA-Movements
-
Personally I don't know it - I just wrote what I read about Swiss ETA in reps here and on other forums. It is said that nowadays it's nearly impossible for Chinese manufacturers to get a new Swiss movement, so they take old or used movements and refurbish them. Don't know if this is a rumor or true, I'm no watchsmith... But try to search this topic, you'll find lots of posts about it!
-
It's stated Swiss ETA - maybe a refurbished one or similar. Most here are saying that you won't get a brand new Swiss ETA movement in your rep... For the Seawolf v2 there are no other movement options available, one the "stated" Swiss ETA. Btw, my Wolf is already in my near, (hopefully) next Monday on my wrist!
-
Mine is on the way!!! Atm in UK, preparing to send to mainland EU - will have it in my hands about next Monday... :D

Forum upgrades - new sections and other suggestions

Yeah, another vote for the Hublot section! -
I really like tapatalk, makes reading forums on my mobile a lot easier! Btw, at the moment there is a public beta of tapatalk v4 FOR FREE in Play Store available - downloaded this morning and really like the new look. Perfect time for everybody to try out tapatalk...
-
Also just ordered (on Saturday) a Seawolf v2 yellow dial and got QC pics today!! Lightning fast and top notch service from Andrew, as always.
-
Another Austrian! Welcome aboard!! It's really a great place here, enjoy!
-
Very nice timepiece, the Daytonas are really beauties... Also great pics!
-
...then let's make an Aroxia forum here too!
-
If you really like the Navi I suggest to get yourself one! I love her even with her flaws, and she is still my favorite watch. Sure, my Chronomat and Skyland Avenger are way better reps, but I would never give my Navi away and would certainly try to get one again if mine is lost or broken.
-
I'm not a long time member here, but I realized quickly it is a great place and a great community here for sharing all kind of thoughts. Very glad that I found this place, this home!
-
Wow, stunning! VERY good pics, thanks for sharing them with us! You really captured the beauty of this watch... Wear it in good health!
-
Thanks buddy! I'm glad that you enjoy my pics!

Thanks bro! The blue strap is a BOB Marino strap from the german site http://www.waccex.de Clasp is default clasp which i got with the watch from Andrew - usually this watch comes with a blue strap, but unfortunately blue straps were out of stocks when I ordered the BCE. So Andrew could only ship it with a black strap and I had to buy the blue strap seperately. The quality and feel of the BOB Marino is on par with the common Breitling rep-straps from our dealers, but just be sure to buy the Marino (=premium) line from BOB straps. Ordered before a regular one, but it´s not so thick, the stichings are smaller etc.
