actually the link IS NOT OF A caliber 13(ie eta/valjoux 7750). Caliber 13 actually IS NOT COVERED with perlage and/or cotes de geneve, but is rather stock looking in appearance. :-) 2892-A2 is however engraved.. ;-)

Man, why don't you do some research before posting? I know it's a caliber17 and not a Caliber13 movement but it is just an example!

These pics are taken from the Breitling Chronolog. Is this not a Caliber13 movement? Isn't it covered with perlage and cotes de Geneve?

I rest my case....

The movement may not be designed for repica modders but I have yet to see it in any genuine branded watch. Similar to any other spurious component (car parts etc) the cloned part should be fully interchangebale with the original. There seems to be little point in replicating a watch mvement which could be marketed as a viable replacement for the more expensive ETA equivalent and then failing to hit the target by altering the hand sizes. Lets start to campaign to have this irritating anomoly sorted.

I'm with ya a 100% of the way PAMman!

... at a Backyard BBQ.

.... with greasy fingers

An Asian 7750 misses all the Swiss tell signs (eg ETA hallmark and a fine regulator) so basically everyone can tell it's not an ETA 7750.

If it's an ETA 7750 it will never look like a gen Breitling movement, even with the Breitling rotor, as the caliber13 is covered with perlage and cotes de geneve.

Example

So why go through all the trouble....

Total bullsh*t.... a close friend of mine is an authorized Breitling dealer and the only way he could tell my GT was fake was by rotating the bezel.

ADs and other watch fanatics know little about the tell signs of the modern rep!

Here's a pic I shot of my neighbours genuine white Evo for reference (white paper in the background).

As you can see the dial is silverish and not white. The Mark I is more accurate when it comes to the right colour white (the creamy white has more resemblance to the silverish dial).

If you ever want to sell it please shoot me a PM

Wear it well my friend!

Gefeliciteerd buddy!

Nice EVO can't wait to receive mine.

No issues?

Also see this post.

Puretime's updated picture showed a black outer lip

It's definitely the lighting. On the second pic the inner bezel looks grey. Also check out the last pic of the gen in my link.... the ring also appears to be black.

The grey is still too dark IMO but with this artificial lighting no one knows for sure. Buy the watch Maxmsu and post some live pics

This was in my todays newspaper.

Translated it states: Watchmaker without arms: "Whang Jianhai (28) is fixing watches in a shopping mall in Peking. He does it in a special way namely with his feet. He learned fixing watches with his feet 5 years ago when he lost his arms due to an electrical shock. In China there are 83 million people with a disability...of which 22,6 milion have a job."

No offence but I don't see this guy servicing an Asian 7750

It also seems like is still winding while screwing the crown down.

My genuine SOSF does the exact same thing.....no need to worry!

C my answer here:

I've gone literally insane doing this over an over and over.

Same here

Some watches have a really tight bezel assembly (like the UPO).... removing the movement and crystal is practically the only way to replace the insert in these cases. So it depends on the watch and the tightness of the bezel assembly.

Well I owned the grey dial BCE (I was part of the pre-order) but I sold it due to the fact that the grey was way too dark. The gen is very very light grey in certain lighting (as can be seen on the pic below) which the rep was absolutely not.....

Could you post some pics when you get your BCE back Kruzer....I'm really curious if they improved this light grey look.

Just got this pic from Angus. Still looks too dark IMO. Could it be the lighting? What do you guys think?

Gen:

According to Angus the grey dial BCE is updated and now the colour should be spot on with the gen. I find his pic at TRC not very convincing. Does anybody have some real life pics or a link to decent pics of this updated version?

Greetzzz,

Mark

Hmmmm hate to say it but I don't like it.... too retro for me.

SuperOcean Heritage?????

Some pics?

Maybe The Technician made a bad start but please don't forget that he can contribute a great deal to this forum in the future..... in the end all he is trying to do is share his knowledge with us. Cut the guy some slack. In 2 years he could be the next The Zigmeister. He can learn from us and visa versa.

Isn't the pond big enough for two big fishes

Just my 0.02.

Praise Trusty

CLICK

The Zigmeister.. You are the master!!!

Maybe you should change your name to Obi One kenows all about servicing

LOL

can we just buy the Omega symbol and swap it

AMEN!
