let me first stress: I DID USE THE SEARCH BUTTON...with no result, sorry!

Strange, it took me about 5 seconds!

But I nowhere find this combinatin as gen!

Because it does not exist. The black sub dials are a flaw. This is corrected with the second generation... look at my BCE

Thanks 4 the pics Giorgio.... the case looks indeed very nice (for a cheap Asian).... But when looking at the caseback of the automatic in question, I also would say it's definitely a gen. Or at least the case is.

I wouldn't buy that one. Too many South Americans putting vintage dials on eta movements and stuffing them into asian cases (I have an asian blackbird rep and have considered doing this myself)

Well, I definitely would like to see a pic of your Asian Blackbird then..............

Gen Leather: Cuir veritable

Gen Croc: Croco veritable

Angus has an 18k solid gold Daytona with ETA 7750, maybe he can source a Yachty?

:cc_confused: So you spotted a fake 6.75 with a 7753 movement at an unAD???

I don't get it.....Maybe it's my poor English LOL.

I had the same problem with my uPO. Just bent the clasp fold a bit at the marked spot. The metal is pliable. Heat it up with a fan so you're absolutely sure it won't break. Bent it from 1-->2 with a cloth wrapped around a plier to avoid marks and scratches.

Good luck!

I have to say the rep strap feels far better than the gen! i am not joking the rep one feels nicer.

cognitive dissonance

The gen strap is much nicer than the rep.. the gen screams quality. The rep strap has the markings stamped in, these will fade away after some wearing.... the gen strap on the other hand is branded (that's why the markings somehow look black)and the markings will not fade away.

Movement pics added on King's site... it shows a gen Rolex 3035... not a 3135 :cc_confused:

It's also available in a Seadweller but it does not look like the prototype we saw earlier.

@Chrod:

I started out with this one, bought on a study-trip in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2002..

Nice date font actually

I like it !! Depite the quarts movement.....

-WEBSITE-

Euro 99,- ?????? :cc_confused:

Don't screw the case back on too thight...... maybe it rubbing against the inside.

Here is something I don't understand.. if Andrew and Josh are forced to sell the HBB at $1000 than what are they paying for these watches?..... $500? $600? $700? .... even $800?

I don't believe the wholesale price of this watch is that high... it's China for crying out loud.

Maybe the watchmaker increased the price from $10 to $210

I hope you weren't trying to move the bezel clockwise

Indeed, you can only turn it to the left! CHECK THIS.

I don't want to spoil anything but the gen doesn't have beveled sleeves... just checked the site. Also the BCE is supposed to have 5 seperate links...like a jig-saw and it makes it a hell to shorten the bracelet. This version also has the black hands instead of the ss/ chrome hands (if I'm not mistaking)....The only thing better on the rep pictured in this post are the nice rider tabs.

@CY0811

The 2nd gen BCE rep (with the AR) is still the ultimate BCE rep!

Which BCE is this?... the rider tabs look genuine.. narrow and deep engraved.. would give anything for the these tabs!

Buy a gen for $12.. makes the clasp close perfectly.

Thanks for the pics and input SZ.... but in comparisson with the gen, the grey still looks a tad too dark. Am I right?

Well Mezzanine, I struggled with the same thing. I also liked the grey dial better but wasn't able to get descent pictures or info on the 2nd gen grey dial. That's why I went with the graphite... and I still don't regret it.

Could you give us some info and show us some pics when you receive the grey dialed version?

It's really difficult to capture the true colour of the dial and subdials as it changes every angle the light hits it.... let me tell you, it's perfect!

This is a 2nd generation graphite dial:

Thanks doc! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. This was al I needed to see before ordering this watch!

Thanks again... looks superb

All the pics in this post are taken by me, directly from the 07 Breitling Chronolog.

Look at the date window. If I'm not mistaking the old 42mm Steelfish had the thicker date window frame but as we can see some 07 SOSF also have them.... left overs perhaps

Look at the two different pearls on the Evolution. Our BCE rep has the same pearl as the one on the second picture.

In my opinion it's almost impossible to get pointed out wearing one of these two super reps. You can always say that there are different versions.....

Cheers!
