taka has some double sided ARd crystals available for luminors

this is almost an identical build to mine, including the frogman strap!

only difference in the spec sheet is that im using a EL case!

very excited to get mine back from avitt now!!

yep 02c and 111e gens the rest are incredible frankens which will all eventually make their way to my watchbox!!

that 219 is sweet!!

what are you using to give the texture on the dial?

canada,

im in for 2 sets!

im in for 2 cases as well, this is very exciting news!

dont think they're available anymore, if anything you will probably have to keep an eye out in the sales section or post a wanted AD.

Good luck with the search!

so these are just pressed on bezels as well?

if so I think it will be a difficult chore to find a replacement.

As for the DW color, I've seen some gens with bright red (exactly like this rep) DW.

No problem here.

Greetz.

You're right Yodap that the first versions of the bentley lines did come with the bright red date font.

I really doubt they could rep the 30 second sweep though

Ya me to,guess i should pick up a Chanel while at it...

Must have been that parade downtown,feeling funky...

Thats good form Dave, new watch for you and one for your wife.

Im surprised you took in the festivities this past weekend As for the funky feeling........thats to be expected with all the garbage thats all over toronto. We're spoiled being in cities where they pick up garbage!

after seeing your pics bollo, this watch has climbed to the top of my 'want' list

it definitely holds its own against the GMT!

thanks for the comparison pics bollo!

does this bezel just screw off to swap it to the stainless?

if so can the more accurate flat screws be ordered from the AD as well bollo?

a gen dial and even just a gen Pro Diver strap and you have a very good rep. No need for the AR, the relume of the hands, gen bezel or eta mvmt.

looks fantastic bollo!

it wears larger than a SA or GMT?

super avenger dials can be found for as little as 200 bucks, they are significantly less than the chronomat dials

Me too, I wanted to get a breitling since I got into the rep scene, bit avoided it since My brother has a breitling rep, and I know that after rolex breitlings are probably the second most repped watches around.

its true there are alot of rep breits around but in my experience most of the reps people wear are those hideous and quite obvious fake bentley models, the tourbillon model in particular.

Thanks guys!!!

im thinking about doing a superlume and in the coming months, hopefully replace the engine with a gen eta 2824-2

IMO I dont think a superlume is necessary, it glows pretty much like the gen as it is.

fantastic choice for your first watch

which model bentley is it?

motors? motors t? 6.75?

think I'll have to see these in person, from the pics they kind of look like swiss army watches or g-shocks to me.

looks fantastic!

where'd you source the dial from?

I have the new Ultimte Version with the correct dial and date font. However, it has the Asian ETA movement. But so far, no issues. Accurate with the time. Overall, nice piece.

Same goes for me, until I got my SA the SOH was my daily wearer for the better part of two months. I wore it in all situations including swimming in the lake at the cottage while on vacation and no water got in. For the price I've been quite pleased with it. It doesn't wear as large as the 46mm diameter would suggest.

looks absolutely stunning! thanks for the great write-up.
