nice story and congrats! i agree, i love that feeling of waiting, and checking tracking and then finally going to the post office early in the morning before they even start to deliver to pick it up! good stuff.

damn jon, what do you do for a living?

i dunno know guys i think it looks pretty damn good. IMO i could care less if everything on the dial is not perfect...i would be more disaappointed if there is dust on the dial or other Qc problems. i highly doubt you will have somebody come up to you and say...you are wearing a fake...i can tell because your wings logo is bigger than it should be. my big concern is the braclet. anybody who has a genuine breitling knows their bracelets are top notch!

lookin good CBR. im sure the gen rubber wears like a champ! looks like the conversion kit fits a little loose? was it the pics or do you get a gap when you add a new strap? either way it looks great.

and you gotta love the new datewheels!! damn that makes such a difference.

im glad to see the oracle strap seems to be a perfect fit. i would love to see a pic of where the strap meets the case. anybody have or want to take a pic if you have an oracle?

anybody else excited about a nice super avenger...finally!

good stuff ub7. very good quick comparison. i agree, i am also worried about the bracelet....for this and also the new super avenger, which should be out any day now. if the bracelet is like the fish i will be disappointed. breitlings bracelets are top notch and very comfortable to wear.

great stuff. keep em coming.

incredible post. i thank you for taking the time. from what josh told me, he stated that this mvmt is based upon the same philosophy of the new seconds at 3 mvmt. hopefully time will tell that it is as good. i had mine for less than a week and it is running great.

this wont be leaving my wrist anytime soon!

man i was waiting for this one, but im a little disappointed it does not have any AR! other then that, it looks great!

good stuff as always andrew! I really think all these flaws are minor and that this will be a huge seller. it really is one of the nicer looking breits in their collection. as you noted, the pearl is off, but it sure is one of the nicer pearls i have seen to date. im really happy they used white lume instead of green and im very pleased with the updated DW's they been using. that is huge!!

the fish bracelet will NOT fit. different end links on the fish. the skyland has flat end links and the fish has curved.

here's a pic of my genuine to help find the flaws. overall i think its great and its a steal @ this price.

on a good note...the pearl looks great! its white...not green. man i hate those green pearls.

over all i think it looks great. the fact that they are using specific datewheels for breitling is a great step. the problem with the lume dot at 3 might be because they are using a smaller case. i dont know for sure, but the dealers are saying the size is 44mm when it really is 45mm. just a thought.

i think the white dial rubberclad comes with both black and silver datewheel surrounds. i have seen many pics where it looks like black and some that look silver. could be a change they made from year to year. on the AP website it shows a silver background.

i think you are seeing a shadow to make the date surround to appear black. it is indeed silver...

the rubber bezel is great. it is very hard and i would think it could take its share of bangs. its not as good at repelling dust as the rubber strap is, but its nothing to be worried about. it really is a nice rep and i am extremely impressed with the level of quality they put into making this one. the fit and finish is remarkable. i dont know how AP could do any better. im sure the real one is better, but this one works for me. the brushed lines with the small polished areas looks great. i highly recommend.

few more pics for the AP fans.

lume is OUTSTANDING!!! i will try to take some pics tonight....lume is on the numbers and is the same brightness as the hands.

thanks fellas. this is definitely one of the most "genuine" feeling reps i have had to date. the fit and finish is truely spectacular. they did a hell of a job. one thing though....for some reason they mixed up the sides where the strap should be. the 12 oclock side should have the deployant and the 6 should have the side with holes. when looking at the dealers pics, i think they will all be coming like this. to be honest, its fits better and more comfortable the way they did it. its an easy fix though if it bothers anybody.

well she is finally here and she is a beauty. first impressions...this thing is amazing. im very glad i waited for the rubber strap...i like the roo much better on rubber or leather. here are a couple quick and dirty shots....better ones to come later tonight. by the way, the rubber strap is a new strap...much better than what they were using. this one is very soft and doesnt collect dust. so far i see no QC problems with mine. josh took good care of me...as always. one thing i was worried about was a sloppy look of how the rubber attaches to the end links....as you can see....its a perfect fit. nice and neat. wow!@! that looks very big on me in this pic....does not look like that in real life. little better with this one.

the ultimate swordfish is not out yet. the one that is out is not of good quality...so i hear. i will be buying the ultimate as soon as it comes out.
