jerome123 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Hello, Can you tell me the differences between the rep and the genuine Montbrillant legend? Are there different versions? I like these two versions, and I'd like to put a leather strap on them (if it's possible) http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_142&products_id=3619 http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_142&products_id=3621 thxxxx
maxman Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Im still fairly new to Breitlings. I have resently purchased a motors T and a SA (blue) that I should have by Friday. From what I can tell both of these reps seem to be very good. As far as the difference between rep and gen, Im not really sure.I am sure that one of the Breitling enthusiast will be by shortly and give you a play by play. I personaly would be very happy to own any one of these two reps, good luck Mike
wothrottle Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 the sunken datewheel is the only real flaw, otherwise this watch is fantastic and the best navi rep available today
Pugwash Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 the sunken datewheel is the only real flaw, otherwise this watch is fantastic and the best navi rep available today ... apart from the mismatch in the slide-rule, you mean.
yodap Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 ... apart from the mismatch in the slide-rule, you mean. Nope, the slide rule does align on this one... FINALLY! Greetz.
Pugwash Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Nope, the slide rule does align on this one... FINALLY! Not in the photos provided. One of the reasons I didn't keep hold of my Navi was that I ended up using the slide rule (converting currency) and the inaccuracy started being a liability. I hope they get it sorted on all the models so I can get myself a classic white one again.
andreww Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Yep, the only visual flaw on this one is the date window. Not only is the datewheel sunken, but the window itself is a little smaller than the gen. Pugs is right that the sliderule is slightly off, but I've seen gen breits that have been just as bad. I like this model but feel that not being able to swap between steel, leather and rubber would leave me quickly bored.
jerome123 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Posted September 7, 2009 thx for your fast replies guys andreew, by not being able to swap between the different straps, what do you mean exactly? You cannot put leather or rubber on it?
Pugwash Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 thx for your fast replies guys andreew, by not being able to swap between the different straps, what do you mean exactly? You cannot put leather or rubber on it? Look at the case construction. Look closely at the lugs.
jerome123 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Posted September 7, 2009 Damn!! That's what I was thinking... I wrote "I like these two versions, and I'd like to put a leather strap on them (if it's possible)" Isn't it possible to remove it? Grrrrrr, these versions would be so nice with a leather strap + they are the most accurate Navi rep for me...
andreww Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Nope, the steel bracelet is the only option for this one.
