Yes it is a bargain! AR - It looks like it has light single sided AR inside only. Hour hand - true it is longer on the rep, though it is only when the hour hand is over the 24hr numbers. Most people would never know though Gap - the gen bracelet has the same gap between all of the links. This rep bracelet, the last link to end link has a slightly bigger gap. Noticeable if its lying flat on the table, but not so much when on your wrist... Oh yeah I think Silix has the same asian 21j for sale - so if you want more pics...

Interesting stuff The fine could also indicate why there are so few watches for sale on the Bay now. Private sellers may find it next to impossible to list a watch (gen or not) with the exception being the Power Sellers... My personal opinion, I'm glad they got fined - they had been too greedy for far too long

Quick & dirty pics for the said watch oh yeah the date window is as big as the ETA version

FM, I'll wait til you do yours before I do mine! lol good luck with it...wouldnt it be great if we could just get a spare dial and hand set, hey?

So, has anyone managed to do this yet? Any pics? the lume on my BB is woeful.....might aswell be Tippex

Yup! I've got this exact watch from Narikaa! I wanted the white one, but was sold out so I got the black one. For the price, I think it is very good. Dial is as good as the ETA version, lume dots are cleaner and tidier than the ETA version (I used have a blue dial ETA version). The hour hand is slightly longer tha it should be though. Bezel is fine, ok not as well finished as it should be, but it is certainly not cheap & nasty. The Pearl is cast within the rider tab and the lume looks ok. It even has the glass top! Crystal - yup its sapphire. It looks like it has a very light AR coating - better than the rep Navitimer, though it does need the full double AR to look gen. Case & caseback- as exact as you want, to be honest. It looks as good as the ETA version. The HEV moves in and out if you press it. Might be a source of water ingress? The Manufacture code is also present between the front strap lugs! Movt - as described in the stats. Never missed a beat and very accurate so far! The crown winds easily and screw thread is smooth. Classic "B" logo is well defined. Bracelet - I can honestly say that the bracelet is better than the one that was on the ETA version! The links glide and swivel very smoothly, clasp is very well finished and stamped. Logos are very well defined and even. The only Tells on this watch are: AR Hour hand Date font Gap between top link and solid end link For the money, I would highly recommend this model. I'm very pleased with mine. I don't often say that with reps, but this is a keeper!

Yes I think that is the gen DW even if it wasn't, its as near as dammit for a rep! SZVWJs just needs to be a little bit thinner overall, as mentioned earlier. The single digit numbers from 4 - 9 need to be a tad wider

The LDW was a personal project undertaken by the member "Lello", he sucessfully made a number of DWs featuring the correct Breitling date font. I read somewhere though, that he stopped making them - for Breitling reps at least...

OK, looking at Breitling Chronolog 08, page 45 and model "152": grey (or gray) dial - black Tachy ring, black subs - white "automatic" model "147": All graphite - red "automatic"

Not quite there yet, I'm afraid. There should be serifs on all the ends

Yummy! I feel anothe BCE being added to my Breitling collection soon! Although the SELs still need to have the deeper cutouts which follow on from the 2 inner bracelet links...

Jeeez This is an eyecandy thread! Great pics, everyone F15DOC: IMO your choice of gen should be either the Seawolf or the Emergency. I would probably lean towards the Seawolf if cost was an influence

I was vsiting Japan last summer, trawled the markets of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka - didnt see one single rep for sale. Plenty of gen shops though!

No, i dont expect miracles or a new movement - i would want the rep for the outward appearance of it - not so much for accurate representation of the movement. I know that repping has its limits! lol Use a smoked plastic dial to obscure the asian movt, which would most probably be the asian 7750 as used in the Blackbird/Bentley series. If they managed to make the TAG Calibre 360 (with Miyota OS20) look vaguely like the gen from a distance; that would probably be enough for me to buy the RM005....! I don't think that I'd try to kid anyone by saying it was real....I'd never spent 30000EUR on a watch! I mean, to all the HBB rep wearers out there....do people believe that you can afford a $16000 watch? I like the RM005's large rectangular case, dial and colours, and also the strap. Having said that, the case looks quite difficult to form. Here's a gauntlet thrown to the rep makers!!

I dont care what movement is used - I want one!! http://www.thewatchquote.com/Richard-Mille...ssa-No_6321.htm

Reported the MFer

You couldnt even give that sh** away in a christmas cracker absolutely awful, hey?!

The cote'd geneve on the rotor is outstanding! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Worn-Breitling-Watch...1QQcmdZViewItem

Good spot! This is definately a rep. The rotor on the movement is: 1) the wrong shape. It should have 2 cut outs in it. 2) The rotor bearing is not correct. Definately not swiss. Reported.

Hmm it sounds like you have the wrong gear ratio for the hour hand! Mine moves as a 24hr dial. One full rotation of the hour hand takes 24 hours.

yeah - good one, I forgot that!

This dealer is really pulling out all the stops to con people: "checked by expert staff" "swiss movement" "member of the Swiss Watchmakers Guild" blah blah, see for yourself http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Breitling-Navitmer-C...1QQcmdZViewItem

It must be a coincidence then, that my TAG Carrera Racing with hi-beat A7750 is also dead! I'm fed up with having to improve this and fix that, and in the end I still cant rely on it. Thats why I'm p*ssed off with reps at the moment....and buying gens instead.

Hopefully the frikkin movements!! Really, do we need another improved rep... with a ticking timebomb of a movement? I wish they'd just sort out the damn movements. Reason for my little rant....my Chopard Mille Miglia GMT movement (bought about 8months ago) expired the other day
