Oh no... If I weren't just laid off... Well the somewhat good news is I have a second interview on Thursday... Love that white dial.

That is going to be nice.

Had a wonderful time. Looking forward to another Denver one. Thanks for putting it all together.

Looks like it does have a black date... Well white text on black. Looks like a white 18 on black. But I am no expert by any means just saying what I see.

Sounds like a plan. I am getting my coat and heading out in a few minutes. Hopefully I don't get chased out for wearing a tee shirt and jeans lol.

Depends... LOL Getting it back would be the tell if genuine lol.

Looks very nice.

Good times I am getting mine ready to bring along with me. Hows parking at the location, pretty good? I meant I wasn't bringing anyone just me going since it was a +? lol

Sounds genuine if "recertified/cal/cosc by Breitling Canada" really means what I am thinking it means lol.

Nobody else going along with me.

I like the look of that thing. Quartz isn't good times and if it is noisy that makes it even worse. Get it in an automatic and might have something good going there especially if it is at the same price point. In quartz form I wouldn't expect more than a few thousand.

I am in that same boat. Getting laid off on Friday the 11th here. Been looking for work but hard finding anything good. Good luck with your search and hope you find something quick.

I am in... I will mention it to some people to see if they are going to be in town to go. But sounds like a plan and will be super fun and exciting.

Isn't this old news or were they after another fake watch of his. I suspect OJ is always running around wearing replicas that's how he goes. I don't think he is too big of an idiot to wear high end things like that out and about.

I don't know could still get the boot if the party really gets going. I will be out there in March for the Nascar race. Haven't decided on a place to stay yet LOL.

Sorry about missing the photographs yesterday... Was in bed almost all day with the flu feeling worlds better today so on to some photographs. Again no good lighting. I should break out some of my gear and get something better but I have been trying to clean up a lot of it. Click the images and it will go to the full size image so you see all the little imperfections. These aren't zoomed or cropped images just some macro shots. Direct flash on the dial (really harsh lighting) Bounced flash 45 degree angle. Hopefully those shots are good enough of the logo to determine if it is good enough for you or not. If I were buying one for myself I would go for the swiss version, change the crown and tube and look at genuine hands and dial. Not because of the logo but because of the lume. If I couldn't find the hands and dial cheap I would likely send it off to VAC or The Zigmeister for a lume and service instead of the hands and dial. But that's just me.

I prefer the new one. Looks very nice.

I am good with Tuesday January 25th, or Saturday Afternoon Feb 12th. My last day at work is scheduled for Feb 11th so I will have lots of free time after that lol.

I am down baglc1 where do I send my unwanted cash to again. What seemed like a good idea was quickly shot down. I found when going to those places that better than a tip was showing them some of my crappy Spanish skills even though I am sure i butchered many words I never once had anyone give me some crappy service. I think it is because many in those areas are used to lazy tourists who make no effort and expect people to understand them, when someone does show effort they appreciate it. And a small amount of cash goes a very long way large flashy gifts like say a 100 dollar rep or even a 10 or 15 dollar glaringly fake is not really needed or wanted. One thing you will want to do though is convert any US dollars into something else usable even Canadian is more usable in Cuba I was talking with the maid when I was there and was told they prefer convertible peso (you can get them at the hotel or airport) I was told they have a 20 percent tax when anyone uses US dollars which is why they don't like them for tips.

I will get some shots on Monday... Doing some work in the datacenter at the office today (moving servers out of racks) didn't want to break it especially since it isn't for me lol. I will get some macro shots of the dial on Monday. So look for them sometime before Monday afternoon. As far as the logo being perfect or correct or what not goes I am not really a huge stickler on many things (I swear my cheap milgauss has the etching lined up lol) but having said that I will say that it isn't a glaring flaw if it is one at all. If anything on the dial sticks out to me it is the fact that the lume dies off so darn quick (Something that always happens with a replica lol) Why can't there be good, high-end quality lume on these from the factory lol. But the logo or font size and type appear to me to be of at least a decent match. I don't run into people too many times who want to pull out devices to measure how off the fonts are lol. I ordered it on the leather, i suspect leather imitation is what was received but I don't know. Because the person I am ordering it for doesn't like metal bands. I can't really comment on how the end links fit. The leather doesn't seem all that bad and there isn't any smell or anything like that coming from it. I wore it yesterday all day and it seemed to lose a few minutes but that could be how I set it also I don't really know. For me the only thing that bothers me is that darn sticky crown and how the date requires a little more pressure then I would like to apply to change. But again those could be caused by the cheap movement (I haven't had anything Asian outside of the A7750 and none of my A7750s have dates lol) and the crown thingy could just be how mine is and others might not have that problem. If the person I bought it for doesn't want it I would have no problem keeping it for myself (for a little while anyhow). I am satisfied with the purchase.

I have only wore the watch for about half a day. I find it comfortable to wear and I am thinking about getting one for myself. I am getting it because my dad wants to get the genuine I am going to let him wear it around to see if he really likes the size of it. I like it and would probably go in for a swiss with the orange for myself just because of being able to get the genuine parts for it easier lol. I will work on getting other shots if someone wanted ones of specific areas of it. I really like it and the only complaint I have is that the crown is a little sticky when screwing and unscrewing. Also the date changes are a little tough I don't know if that is just the movement or if something else is up with it. I also love my cheap milgauss which has been running for quite sometime without any problems lol. Hope that this is just as good.

The server fire is actually the only time I recall this site being down... The admins and others really rock and I love this board and site. If I weren't getting laid off right now I would be all for donating more money.

I just received mine. Well would have came yesterday but I was out and missed the postman. Click images for full size images.
