Saphire can be scratched if you scratch it agains certain wall-structures that are made of stones with very hard fragments in. So maybe you had just bad luck..

I just got the GMT II ceramic lalalla .. and I dont like it at all. Well I never liked rolexes not even the gens. It all look "fake" as they lack AR haha.

I hope Jakub can work his magic on my crystal+cyclop cant stand it with all the glare

You just gotta love EMS

Sometimes its superfast!

As per Josh, this is already out of stock.

Wonder why? this tread my have helped the sales a bit

Just heard from Josh about possibly getting the datewheel alone for modding other Breits. His answer was no, sorry, not available.

Ofcourse not, as he is going to sell a lot of new BCE's just for the DW. So to sell DW's seperate for 20-50 USD or to sell th ewhole watch for $308, there wasnt much to think about. My opinion anyway

BL10078 is different maker than the V2 versions, and not at all as good as the V2.

I dont belive the 078 has the new updated DW either.

1. We dont have Euros in Switzerland, we have Swiss Francs (CHF)

2. We dont wear Lederhosen, the germans do! :-)

Greets from Zurich!

I were in Zurich in May 2008 and paid by euros everywhere. The good thing with that was that when you bought something for example 200 CHF and paid with a

ok, SLR reserved to docblackrock

payment+shipping next week

Awesome shots!

Man... this watch is growing on me.

I drive a Mercedes E200 Kompressor, so this would be quite convenient for me.

Hey, isn't that a great excuse to buy yet another watch?

PS: Any interest in making a full review of this? I'd love to add it to my TAG Guide.

I drive Audi myself! .. Do you want my Tag? I think i'

This got up on J's site just a while ago..

shows the new DW ..

anyhow no pricetag yet and no info.

I just got the "V2-version" , pictures on site are not updated to show new dw-batch..

take care . -tazz

I got really suprised when I opened the package today and saw the great DW it was fitted with. So yes it is rep-stock DW, no Lello.

Hmmf.. I have 3 lello DW's arriving next week.. lucky me

Well they will go in my Navi + old white BCE instead + one spare to hang on the wall.

I add some pics;

- tazz

One humble request: Is it possible to resize the pics to somewhat reasonable sizes? Irfanview is a great, free and easy utility to resize them quick.

800x is enough and 1024x is HUGE. Now some of the pics are in the 3000x range and it's rather annoying.

Otherwise, much appreciated for the review. Good job!

My bad, all pictures are now resized to around 800*XXX and re-uploaded..

and the "4"-shot ...

I don't get it.....

Your old one is a V1 with AR (different bezel, beveled edge on pusher's buttons etc.) the new is one is a V2 (longer chrono pushers, different bezel etc.) .... but indeed with a really nice DW. But besides that, same ol Same ol

If my old one is a V1 i have been fooled by mr. Josh, both should be V2's.

Anyhow, that answer your questions, the new one is also from Josh..

I missed some additional pics that should have been in the first post:

and the package it arrived in

edited: Not a good idea to post pictures like this

Haha..

A picture with the date number "4" will be up in 10 minutes.. just have to recharge the camera..

I recall there was yet another "old" version of the BCE, called "Ultimate". How does this compare to that one, in your opinion?

Does this new one have double AR?

- This is much better, all the small things you noticed on the older one is now fixed, I am really really pleased. I havent found any flaw yet, but I will keep checking!

- Yes it has double AR, better than the old Ultimate BCE - not much better, but slightly .. not as good as the K2222-version 2 AR though..

From what I can see, it looks as if the engravings on the caseback is shallower as well?

- The plastic is still on the backside, thats why the engraving is not looking deep. I will remove and publish pics together with the "4"-shot in 10 min..

I have been in contact with some of the collectors with questions if there will be any new BCE versions out soon, the answer was no - but I got told that many enhancements has been made in the latest batches.

So, I ordered one to check it out.

Here is the quick differences I as a novice can see.

* Updated bracelet with smaller gap at last link.

* Much better Breitling logo + text on the clasp

* Clearer print on backside

* UPDATED DATEWHEEL (I ordered this new BCE to swap to lello-dw, now I might skip it - think this new one is good enough!) - see pictures

* New wider ring around subdials.

* More refined bezel

* Bracelet dont gap between bracelet and watch.

* Better standard AR than before

* Better pearl

* Silver dials ( I got dark dials on my last V2!)

Okey, let the pictures talk.

New DW:

Old DW:

Gen DW:

Bracelet difference:

And side by side!

I am really pleased with this new batch of BCE's.

I may send it to K2222 for even better AR ..

I also really like that SS-braclet.

But I dont like sunken datewheels .. :/

Without the sunken datewheel I might have pulled the trigger just for the nice bracelet..

I also have on order, probably arrive during next week.

Just recived my watch today from Josh...

I will be back with review later today but all I can say for now is wow!!!!!!!!

plus i recived the watch after 5days...AND I live in Sweden....thats great.....

I do have that one since a while ago and its great, anyhow mine is at Jakub for AR-coating. The rep-coating did look good in the beginning but comparing to jakub's its nothing!

Enjoy it.

(im also from sweden)
