lanikai Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 The SOSF White dial.. Asina and ETA .. the AR makes a slight difference.. the movement is a definate difference.. the font on the dw is slightly noticable.. (very much to some) Here are the pics per a members request to decide on the "lite" .. my ooinion.. if you can save a little more for the ETA that would be optimum.. especially for the movement.. but here ya go ... you can tell in this pic by the font in the dw.. ETA Asian ETA Asian ETAextreme glare Asianextreme glare hope that helps the decision AC Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I would imagine too, that the ETA would be oiled and not needing a service (right away) as it come directly from ETA. Just some thing else to think about when deciding. Never a fan of the brown straps, but that looks great on the silver Lani! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Nice comparison. I guess the difference in AR would be even more obvious with a darker dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Nice comparison. I guess the difference in AR would be even more obvious with a darker dial. Yes !! the AR is a must for the darker Blue and Black.. you can get away with it on the white ... but the movement is what is what will be most problematic.. and for the price ... eta.. fo sure..

charmquark Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 engraved logo? Forgive me for dragging an old thread back but it addresses a question I have. I vaguely remember seeing photos of 2 rep cases, one having the breitling wings logo engraved somewhere on the side of the bezel near the top and the other not. Is that true for either of these? Do you have photos showing how it should look? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L Did not decided yet between both, but not sure price/longevity is in favor of ETA, considering you can by 3 asian versions for 1 ETA... AR is best but can be done lately. Is it saphir on both ? That could make the choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
