hackR Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 there's a post in the General Discussions forum on early reps...i thought it would be fun to post this in the Breitling forum for those Breit fans... this is one of my first reps, Breitling Emergency (kinda/sorta) -- from one of my trips to Singapore...and quite honestly, i can't recall the year...somewhere around 2000-2002, i think?!... this is one hunk of metal...but seriously, a nice darkened color brushed ss bracelet/case...the bracelet clasp has a raised wings logo, too...sunburst blue dial... i believe the logo is the Breitling Jet Team, but i'm not sure?!...7 jets in the logo... anyhow -- enjoy the pix...

Toadtorrent Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 We are indeed on the same wavelength. I almost bought a gen of the Emergency. I love that. If there's a high rep version of it out, I would buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 thanks S... wtf?!?!...this isn't a high rep version... this has got to be one of my heaviest reps...a tank!... and the darkened brushed ss is sweet -- i assume it tries to replicate titanium, but its a dead giveaway when my arm is dragging on the ground...

trailboss Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 If only the correct digi displays were available! It sure is one huge hunk of a watch. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong...it's an amazing watch, but I don't think it's available anymore is it? I haven't seen any of the usual suspects carry an Emergency, or seen one being released in the last 4 years. The older rep supply dry up is an issue. For a current one, I would like a real Ti version with the big honking font on the LCD screens with the grey on black. Your jet logo is amazing though.

If there's a high rep version of it out, I would buy it. Toad I am with you! Almost bought a Gen until I found out the it must be serviced every 2 years buy Breitling at the costs of $500! Not worth the serivcce cost for me to own a gen. as I have no real use for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 That logo is actually of the Swedish Air Force acro team "Team 60"! Here is a late 90ties Breitling Pluton with the same logo! Not a bad replica really..it is on par, or even better than todays Emergency replicas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Cool!! I love both Emergency and Breitling Jet Team! Some pics from this year Red Bull Air Race in Budapest: More can be seen here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad replica really..it is on par, or even better than todays Emergency replicas. Wow, that looks like an old Armitron circa 1984 with different dial and bezel. If I find a picture of the exact watch I will post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 another one of these sighted by a respected collector... Another Emergency "flavor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OrenG Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) another one of these sighted by a respected collector... Another Emergency "flavor" I take it that the rep doesn't have a transmitter? Edited September 23, 2009 by OrenG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I take it that the rep doesn't have a transmitter? Absolutly not. When you by a Gen. you fill out all kinds of fun paper work stating that you will not activate the transmitter unless it is a real emergency. The watch is actually registered to you and Breitling suggests that if you ever sell the watch to transfer the registration to the new owner.

krpster Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Pretty sweet hackR! I absolutely love the Emergency (especially the mission version) and that is not too shabby looking. Accurate no...but still very cool. Want to sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labanlieu Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Love this watch. Seems that the new Emergencys are smaller? Also love the girl in your avatar.. whats her name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastergod Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Not having checked wether Idolreplicas is a scam site or not, here is one of several of their alleged Emergency models: Idolreplica Emeregncy Perhaps it could be used for an Emergency project. MG Edit: Looking at it, I guess the problem is the pushers, the dial, the bracelet and well I guess everything, but at least the LCD isn´t disastrous...
