Bike Mike Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 The reps are so close to the gens, that I do not know if it is even worth purchasing the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi Lani, Beautiful trio! I bought mine soon after it first came out, when it caught the rep world by surprise when it was heralded as one of the first "super reps". Super was indeed a great adjective to describe this watch, as it certainly mimicked the gen in almost every detail. From the perfect dial, to the 1000ft waterproof claim, to the double AR, this watch has everything. Luckily, prices have come down, since I remember paying somewhere north of six hundred for mine (does anyone remember the initial price?). As with most in this hobby, my taste have changed, and I have just recently sold my blue Breitling to a lucky buyer. For those who may be interested, I've just posted up for sale my two extra straps, one a brand new and untouched blue leather strap complete with buckle, and the other, a genuine Breitling blue "pro diver" rubber strap that comes along with a genuine buckle. Perhaps my taste will change once more, and I'll end up missing my Breitling. Maybe next time a white dial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I like this watch so much that I have considered a gen. However the rep is mighty good... I love mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I love my SFSO. About once a month it bats its eyes at me from the watchbox and I lose all control as it romances my wrist all day long. Today is one of those days. Factory AR working hard. The crystal is usually invisible. Its better than the double AR on my gen TAG. More scratch resistant as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I like this watch so much that I have considered a gen. That is how I ended up with the gen. Except I loved the rep so much, it was my GF (now Wife) that got it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've compared the gen and the rep side by side and I'll be damned if I can spot any difference. Maybe in Macro form I'd see it? If not the best replica...damn close to it. Nice one's Lani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I love mine too! What a great watch! If I can only keep one rep, this one will be the it. Does anybody know where I can source a gen dial and crown? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 That's exactly what I am experiencing. Only the SA dials... I have wondered even how those have gotten out. Breitling is very strict with gets out. Even getting them to return replaced parts to a customer who bought a piece from them, takes begging and pleading.
