rek001 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Details please? A few weeks ago I posted begging for the limited edition BCE, rhodium dial with silver subdials to be repped.

ubiquitous Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 That looks nice. I may have to give in to that one...
Rolexman Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Looks more dull grey than silver to me..... hope it's the lighting
slickdick Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Dealer pics suck as hell. But we do need a good pic!
arminvanbuuren Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 theres no gen version of this anyway.. so yeh unless u want fantasy then meh
arminvanbuuren Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 oh i just saw that again.. did they update the dial? or is it one of those photoshopped pics.. coz from that pics.. it kinda does look accurate
PaulVanDyk Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 is it just me or subdials on the gen look recessed?
slickdick Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) On the rep they also are recessed, although less then on the gen perhaps. Judging from the gen above pic and a V1 dial rep dial at hand, the rep dial is indeed not as recessed as the gen. Can't say wat V dial the current v3BC's are though. Edited July 1, 2009 by slickdick
b16a2 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 hmmm afte seeing the pictures of that genuine.....aren;t the subdials meant to be whiter than the rest of the dial, because the replica has dark silver subdials by the looks of it
Mickey Padge Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 King has some different pictures of this watch: http://www.kingwatches.net/BREITLING-231.htm
rek001 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Jeez, Joshua's pics look murky and underexposed and King's look overexposed, I have no idea what this rep really looks like.
chronoluvvv Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 looks nice & all but i think i'm over the BCE already
jfreeman420 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 The one at king's site looks like an update of the old white or silver dial. Josh's pics look like they tried to rep the rhodium dial but made it too gray with the wrong color subdials. It looks like the concentric circles are more pronounced as they should bee but the location of where they should be is reversed. They should be around the outside of the dial to start. Not exciting for me.
Tribal Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Its described as grey Dial not silver and the silver Dial exist as gen for shure !!!
importr Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 Is this the one its supposed to be? (shamelessly borrowed pic) http://media.photobucket.com/image/chronom...tion120-1-1.jpg
Gavilan Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Has anyone bought one of these yet? May not be accurate, but then again the dealer pics do suck sometimes. Thanks
lanikai Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 the AR came out on yellow.... the dial looks great ... but the tint in the xtal morphs the colour to gold due to the tint in the xtal.. New maker.... needs to work on his AR. L
Rolexman Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 the AR came out on yellow.... the dial looks great ... but the tint in the xtal morphs the colour to gold due to the tint in the xtal.. New maker.... needs to work on his AR. L So you own this one?
rek001 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Lani, you're back! How are you feeling? Regarding the AR with the yellow cast - not good. I noticed this also, I'm ready to buy a TT BCE with white dial and the pics I've been poring over from the various dealers - the ultimate v3 white dials look terrible, very dirty, yellowish cast to the white dial, looks awful.
Gavilan Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 So with an aftermarket AR how would this one stack up? From the pics it is a very classy looking watch. I have a V2 BCE and it is pretty much the watch i wear on a regular basis, well that and an UPO. I mean for the $ V's quality, i don't think many of the reps out there stack up to the BCE.
rocket754 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Anyone have one in hand yet? Let's see some real life pics for all of us who are still on the fence.
