Review: Gen Skyland vs Rep Skyland


DVS

Recommended Posts

This is a review I wrote a while back at RepGeek.

I received my Skyland V3 from Peter and I love it!! It felt gen right away. The strap feels nice, the watch is heavy and built quality is great.

I took these pics at work, sorry for the quality...

Gen vs Rep

When I first compared the rep to the gen the first thing I noticed was the difference in AR and dial quality. The gen AR is stronger. The rep AR has a more blueish tint. This is very difficult to capture on photo, but is very noticable when held next to each other.

Another difference are the subdials. The subdials have some kind of texture. This can be seen when it reflects light. Also, this is very difficult to photograph...

A side by side comparison:

Nothing to add here.. they are identical....

Then the most discussed part of the Skyland, the lumedots!!

The dial close up.

If you see the dials up close you can see the difference in quality.

Casebacks:

The rep caseback is very good! The sticker isn't very accurate, but that's an easy fix ;)

The rep is indeed amazing. :blink:

Thanks for the great comparison. I will add this to the Breitling Guide so please keep those images hosted in your Photobucket (for good).

Well, it's really amazing, but the V2 is even more accurate :)

Compared mine to the gen this weekend, and I couldn't believe my eyes! (and I'm not a noob, I know what to look for...)

Reps are gettin' better and better!
