OmegaPOFL Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone!! It's been a longgg journey to finally get my first rep!!!! I owe it to Panerai, because when i first saw the base 111h, i was instantly smitten and wanted to buy that watch....until i found out how much it cost. As a college student, i knew i couldn't afford it, until i became a doctor (which is about 5 years away ) or my really nice parents could get me one as my grad. present ). Then i started looking for replicas, and soon found RWI, followed by RWG and finalllly RG. As i was reading into Panerai's from here and rg,rwi, I found there needs a lot of modding for one to have a nice looking Panerai. So i put my Panerai dreams on hold and started looking into UPO's, again...modding. Finally Seadweller4k's post about the Breitling SOH caught my eye and i decided that would be my first watch. I wanted a hassel-free transaction with my first watch, so i went with a no-brainer....SEAD! Communication was, ofcourse, excellent...and i couldn't be happier... thanks Sead Now i will leave you with these sneak peak pictures (sorry for the cell-phone pics... im too excited to haul out my dad's DSLR...which i will do this weekend) i have to study for an exam tomorrow, will post TONS more pics this weekend!!!! nice packaging!!: i seee youuu: UPDATE: The strap is big!! need to resize it.. the feel is beautiful... i've never actually held a rep watch....and i gotta say.... this is blowing my mind!!

OmegaPOFL Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) hmmmm since i cant seem to update it i'll do it here *update* i was able to go to a well known jewelery store @ a mall nearby and resize it... the dude was cool, didn't even charge me! Since i've never really done this.... please bear with me as the pictures aren't up to par with you guys.....yet the need for double AR i haven't took the clear sticker off the back...that's why it looks dirty/dusty Lume shots *i tried my best!* Quick comparison with my only other watch...gen Tissot Seastar1000. The lume on the Tissot is not that good....so the breitlings really needs a superlume service pronto! for the next two, i had to go into the closet 10 sec. timer 20 sec. timer So far the watch is holding up great...lol its only been 3 days.. Hope everyone enjoyed that! Thanks!! comments welcome Edited June 27, 2009 by astrograph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Congrats on the SOH. It was also my choice for my first rep. Looks like you got a good one. Wear it well my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Great photos. I own the same set up...Black dial SOH with the OR bracelet. Unreal watch. One of those that you look at all the time and don't notice what time it is. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Looks like Sead sent you a really nice watch, with well applied lume dots too! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalwise Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Great watch, try and get a mesh bracelet for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opawlows Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
