I'm looking at the new watch by Andrew / Josh and I'm really confused about this dial:  "Weave style".

I've never seen this style, ever.  Can someone point me in the direction of this version, anywhere?

I'm looking to send an older Breitling Rep to get AR done.   Does anyone still do this anymore?  I've been out of commission for a while, and I noticed cheiftang isn't doing it.  I e-mailed Vac, but curious if there are new people popping up doing this.

Thnx

Does anyone know if a gen dial would fit in this? Sorry if this has been discussed in another thread.

I dropped my BCE the other day from about 3 feet. Fell off the dresser. Now the movement is totally ruined. I move the BCE from side to side and you can feel the movement inside just keeps spinning it doesnt catch on anything? Anyone familiar with how much is damaged (is it even worth repairing?)... Even a ballpark figure would help.

Secondly,

Anyone know of New Jersey REP friendly watchsmiths!!?

The bend did the trick. Good stuff.

Thank you very much.

I just clapped and the watch came un-done. I think the clasp is messed up.

Thoughts?

Ive had many breitlings but never worn it on leather. Just got a leather deployant croc from Ruby. I threw it on the evolution and I've noticed a few things. Someone let me know if this is normal.

The way it latches is MUCH MUCH less secure then my skyland, my bentley and my evolution (steel) bracelets. It doesnt come apart but I haven't worn the leather that much.

Secondly, The leather feels very stiff (and I know it needs to be broken in) but it feels abnormally uncomfortable.

Thirdly, Any tips for rep leather to maintain the lifetime.?

People weren't prepared for the size. It makes the evolution seem small. I wear it daily

I'd say black croc.. Thats my vote..

I just got this watch and I just ordered the same black.....

Breitling is a million (perhaps Billion) dollar company producing luxary watches, that go through rigerous tests etc etc etc.

Do we lose any "comfort" or "fit" since we are buying reps? Are the watches weight distributed differently as opposed to the gen, in regards to comfort? I have 'tried on' gens, but I have no experienced 24-48hrs with them on my wrist.

Also on Breitlings test is there a "recommended" way of wearing the watch for ''optimal'' performance, comfort, fit etc.

Just curious as I see people wear there watches differently and I as I wear my Breitling Bentley everyday, it seems more and more I am curious of what the exact fit was.

Thanks

Looks to me they missed the square. The Gen is red.

Hi,

Is this a factory error.....

Does the square on the seconds of the SOSF has to be red? or is this a previous version?

Tnx

When this review came out, I purchased the watch right away. Thanks! It was my favorite, and I miss it.. (gave it away after it had too many miles!)

Excellent review. I think I may have already said this one time

Sounds cool. I'm jealous. Cheers.

I vote to wear a breitling.

Not even near correct, not even close.

I have a few friends who all own a couple breitlings. They don't notice very little things like that. I think the only person who could point that out is a person in this hobby or someone who buys in the second/after market. But agreed - Very awesome copy and I doubt you'd ever get called out on the screws on your bracelet.

Considering the complexity of this bracelet, the rep is very impressive but any gen breitling owner could tell based on the screws.

Are you kidding? You already gave the answer to your own question. The font is different.

My initial question was that the font was a noticeable difference on these photographs which threw a curveball at me. Without obviously holding the watch I wanted to make sure it did have all the features of a v2, verses the v1. The datefont pictures is different than many of the ultimate's I have seen (for example, see recent post by the gentlemen who purchased the watch from Dylan). Also see the photos of the datefont in the BCE Guide.

Just confused me. .. But now that someone told me there are two different fontstyles for the same ultimate watch - that would lead me to conclude there is a v1, v2, v3 or v2.0 v2.1 .. Or maybe I am overanalyzing.

Thanks for the input tho.

I am putting in a lello datewheel anyway so this doesn't bother me. It's just the way the two looked threw me off... Regardless of how it looks it's still very noticeably wrong compared to the gen - so whats the difference?

Indeed.

I got this picture and I don't think it's an ultimate BCE due to the fact that the "2" goes straight down and doesn't square out like the 'revised' bce with the updated datefont.

Opinions welcome.

Thanks!

I'm considering to buy a Bentley GT (white) from Josh or Andrew. The 48mm 6.75 is a little too huge for my taste.

I don't want to play the "god dammit, where the heck do you got that huge Breitling from?!"-game with every person who I run into, all day long.

The GT is quite a watch, too. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Here is the GT, by the way:

I got this GT from Josh. They have this version in the 42 or 44mm version. It's awesome. Not as 'blingy' as one may think and I wore it everyday for about a year and got little to no "OMG HUGE BREITLING COMMENTS" on it. You rarely will get complimented on it being a Breitling. It could be just my area but most people only know of "Rolex".

Anyway - Watch is great. It's big but not uncomfortable. I couldn't go smaller.

I am waiting for BCE now, and I gave that watch away!

ALL GRAPHITE DIAL + SUBDIALS = gen.

Gray Dial is different than GRAPHITE.

If you want to get paticular.. I haven't seen a correct one.

Why does everyone make such a big deal about the graph dial and graph subdial combo?

Because it's so darn good nothing else to complain about!

If you get the 49mm its pretty stinkin' big. The 44 is IMO the perfect size. It's not real flashy and I wore with jeans regularly and never felt out of place.

Bently logo. No AR that's what kills this watch. Everything else was 'okay'. Ill give it a 6.9 out of a 10 on accuracy to a rep. But as far as reps go.. This was perfect weight, the bracelet was great.. and the watch kept good time.

I got my GT from Joshua. It was perfect. No problems.
