i agree that AR is an important aspect in a replica breitling. after receiving a couple watches with great AR it is now becoming mandatory for me. BUT for an extra $200 i think its crazy. yes i know about the mvmt difference, but i have heard complaints of people having troubles with the eta as well. my solution...buy a white dial asian version. a black dial will have MUCH more reflection as oppose to a white dial. i have had navitimers with black and white dials and the difference in the glare is huge. if you dont have or dont want to spend the extra cash on AR my suggestion would be to go with a white dial. cant beat it for $130 shipped.

i found this website, which has very nice prices for hamilton and tissot watches. this one has a swiss auto with AR!! 46mm wide 15mm thick. looks pretty good. im thinking about getting one, but then i see pics of the IWC CD and i think that will be my next purchase. http://www.bluedial.com/T19159351.htm

if you are going with the asian version i would definitely suggest the white dial. with a darker dial and no AR it acts like a mirror and in my opinion it is almost unbearable. the white dials dont show off too much of a reflection. again, this would only be advice for the asian version....the $135 version. if you go with the swiss version, which has great AR....good luck...they all look nice.

i never saw a rep with that type of bracelet. looks real to me, but its hard to tell with not so many pics.

very nice!! i dont wear gold, but i do own the ss hbb and the ceramic hbb and i wish i got them with the black datewheel. love that black date wheel. nice choice. congrats

i posted this before, but the posts on this thread seem to indicate that there is NO AR on the gen....that is not true. the gen DOES have AR. http://topperjewelers.com/d/brands/tag/CAF2010.BA0815

still one of my faves...

what a great set of pics!! im getting closer and closer to buying this one. still would like it with the bracelet, but i guess i will have to live with the blue rubber. great watch and even nicer pics.

awesome piece my friend!! looks great on your wrist. i have a 7.5 inch wrist so i think i will do OK with my rep when it comes in about a week. i keep coming back to this post and looking at your pics....congrats!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! i love it....just ordered a white one from ruby. congrats.

i spoke to chieftang and he is very busy lately and said he wont be doing any ar runs for a while. just what he told me...im sure this isnt what you wanted to hear....i know it wasnt what i wanted to hear.

looks great!! amesome pics. damn i wish they made this with a bracelet. i really want this watch, but dont when i would wear since i wear black pants/shoes to work. anyway, your pics are not making this any easier....and the alignment of your day/date looks perfect. one of the best i seen yet. congrats

i got a bottle of loctite at ace hardware...like $3. they also have cape cod cloths if you need them for any other watches.

i like the mellow, but personally wouldnt be able to pull it off with the yellow strap, but now i think either josh or andrew are selling the black rubber strap seperately. just an fyi if you were thinking of picking one up.

its a big bang weekend for me. going to sleep soon....what i will be dreaming about

cousteau has stickers as well....pretty pathetic when you think about how much they are selling these for. for these prices the mvmt should definitely be engraved.

gen DOES have AR

AND the hbb is selling for around $600, where are you located and why does it cost you so much more for these watches?

the only thing ever stated about the hbb was that there was one and only one maker for these watches. thats why they can charge so much because there is no competition. although 760 for the iwc is insane. they are selling for around $380 shipped.

only my opinion, but i think you would be crazy not to spend an extra 40 to get the big bang.

the gen does have AR, although on josh and andrews site there is no mention of AR being on the rep. i hope there is AR on these. http://topperjewelers.com/d/brands/tag/CAF2012.BA0815

i dont see any pics??

totally agree!! this has been my favorite of all the hbb's. i just love the design of that strap. unfortunately if they release this one i might just have sell a kidney and buy it.

my only disappointment about this rep besides the lack of the bracelet so far is that both joshua and andrew have the watch listed and there is no mention of AR. i know the gen has AR and the pics looked like there is AR, but nothing on their description.

who would that dealer be? how long have you been waiting tom? im starting to get anxious to see when you get it.
