feels the same as before it popped off -- the mechanism that holds the bezel in place on the rep is different than the gen, so looking up bezel info on the gen is of no use . -- (the gen uses the screws to hold it in place, the rep uses a simple spring)

chrono -- just ran it into a door frame hard enough as i was moving around the house... I got the bezel back on -- it took simple pressure on the bezel and i turned the bezel around as i pressed down, the two together made it snap back into place perfectly.

Anyone else had their bezel pop off on the breitling seawolf avenger v2 (mine is yellow, but this applies to any color). I'm trying to get it to go back with simple finger pressure, but doesn't seem to work very well .. i think i may need a new spring inside the bezel to get it to work right. -- anyone have leads to parts for the rep bezel? (other than china?) .. the watch came from trusty .. any ideas on how to get the bezel back on (or a tutorial i might have missed) would be appreciated.

indy.. i'm using the buckle that came with the strap

Pam 111

ben .. been spending the last few days in NYC .. the strap has been comfortable even in the humid heat that is NYC in the summer (i much prefer SF weather)

nice update on a what was already a great looking watch.

I still wear mine.. I think I should buy a new strap.. The one it came with doesn't fit perfectly

i didn't have any discomfort with the rubber strap

ben .. the difference in weight is significant between the SS bracelet and the rubber strap .. so i prefer the rubber strap ... for me its more comfortable without the extra weight.

I really enojed this watch during this trip -- its a great watch for a beach vacation .. during the day i wore the yellow seawolf .. and at night for dinner / walking on the beach i switched to my PAM 111 ... the other watches i brought with me got no wrist time .. -- guess i only need 2 watches on vacation .. day time and night time.

Just wanted to share a photos I snapped while in Hawaii with the banana seawolf. Wore the watch while swimming in the pool, ocean, and some snorkeling, out of the box waterproof. (I wanted to take a picture with it underwater, but I never got around to it)

ephry .. hawaii has been great ..

for myself today i own only reps (about 6) -- eventually i plan on having some gens.. maybe about 2 .. and up to 10 reps .. the variety that you can have with reps is too great .. not really worried about re-sale value i'd like to build some superfrankens (stuff like a 1680 and a vintage pam)

this strap has worked out great in my trip to hawaii .. i've worn it several days swimming , snorkeling, or just hanging out by the pool .. the strap dries fast, easy to clean even when you get sunblock on it. -- its comfortable when its hot, -- i dont have anything bad to say about the strap ..

I've been swimming and snorkeling for the last week with my Breitling yellow Seawolf Avenger rep .. no problems out of the box. (and the watch looks great underwater too)

when it comes wto info about reps, PAMS have about the most amount of info on the web .. -- all you have to do is search for it.

this question seems weird .. question to the orignal poster -- what do you see as the best strategy? .. can you give some #'s?

I think Torneau has the best ones

For the sub http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=10893 for the seamaster i dont think andrew carries one -- you may want to email him directly.

depends on the watch -- some watches are only offered in swiss eta -- some are only offered in asian eta clone .. most are offered in asian 21j .. which watch are you looking at?

i doubt they run the factory 24x7 -- it probably closes every night.

for a first project where you want to end up with a 1:1 .. i'd say pick an easier project .. (like a fiddy) ..

another good reason to buy reps .. when trends change it wont cost you a fortune to buy a whole new collection of whatever size is trendy.

andrew has stock from H factory .. depending on the watch people like H or noob .. or neither .. the best thing you can do is investigate the watch well .. and then decide .. there are guides and reviews for just about every watch that is popular ..
