What I can't understand is the V1 costs 650USD (mint, used)... Doesn't make sense to spend 700USD on V3.

Well... The Lite version with CF dial doesn't cost a bomb. I think the dial doesn't make huge price difference.

Not the whole bezel but only the insert

I would say go for croc rep. I have done side by side comparison (black colour croc) between the gen and rep. The biggest tell is only Croco Veritable text on the genuine and cuir veritable on the rep. The rest (look and feel) is very very similar. I would have spent my money on the rep croc instead (plus you get a very nice deployant) for 1/5 the price.

Breitling today... Perhaps for the next day too:

Well, I appreciate your opinion but really, to me this watch has very good built quality. I have handled many reps and for the price (of course if you get it from the dealers), this watch is well worth the money. No Invictas, etc. come close to this watch. Plus, it's waterproof to at least 5 bar (tested at watchmaker).

I told you guys that By-Tor is full of surprises This watch was on my list till By-Tor came in and offered me this watch as a token of appreciation. Thank you very much for your kindness, Sir! It means a lot to me. The watch is no less than PERFECT. To know more about this watch, please visit By-Tor's own excellent review: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=60985 I am sorry that my picture taking skill is far from his But this will do for now: and a wristshot: I will strongly recommend this watch too. It feels solid and well built. Pretty comfortable on the wrist too. If the size of a Submariner/Seadweller is your concern, this YM feels bigger/beefier on the wrist.

I agree... leave them alone.

Indeed... Looks strange to me. This is probably a watch that goes very well with strap but not on bracelet (just like PAM).

@geo: Doc has the clasp pictures posted on another thread.

Anyway, contrary to popular belief, the crown doesn't look tiny at all.

That's really dark then. Will appreciate if there is lume shot for this model. Perhaps a comparison to major latest replica releases?

Ah... I have been waiting for this. Pretty good watch I have to say. First, I will go for SSD then this one is definitely on the list.

He is the same enzo from NZ. It's really a pity of what has happened. Several version of stories. It's happening when I was away. My relationship with him was very good to say the least.

Well... If we just ignore small flaws, this watch is actually pretty good. I love the look of fatter hands. More lume in there. How's the lume quality?

Agree... Looks to be a good rep I wonder how they got it pretty good.

I don't know if this has been suggested before. We can make a small donation out of each watch sold by member (personal donation, any amount). That's I think a small gesture that will count towards the greater good.

i am drooling! can't it be repped?

you will be surprised, there are many of us I believe.

Well... I should say it really depends on which country in EU. They treat packages differently. Would you mind to be more specific? UK - no problem. France - no problem. Germany and Netherlands - be careful. Belgium + Lux - no problem. Spain - be careful. Italy - be careful.

Please stay away from this website. It's using gen pictures. Hamiltons are not repped because the gen doesn't really command a high price. It's still considered as "affordable" brand. I would really suggest you get the genuine. For the money, it's a nice watch.

Thank you very much for your kind words ByTor The watch looks good after you put it together. We have to give credits to ByTor too. Your pictures are amazing. It's my pleasure dealing with ByTor. He has surprised for me too, I will let you guys soon enough. PS: I am still very far from The Zigmeister. He is really a much greater modder/watchmaker/relumer than I am. I learnt, am learning and will learn a lot from him... me, I am just a hobbyist.

That will definitely do, sd4k. No EMS, FedEX, etc... especially to Germany.

no insurance... First Class Airmail will do with registration. Put value as 25USD.

Servus! Well, not from Germany but living here till end of July.
