P4GTR Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 This is my latest watch. Can anyone guess what it is? Real or rep? I will be posting full details soon. Just wanted to share a few pics for now. (date change works fine.. note the time. These were just quick shots, sorry about date window) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm not expert on these, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's rep. Correct? Either way, congrats and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I know nothing about Breitlings but the engraving and detail on the back and the clasp look awfully sharp and crisply done to be a rep! The checkering on the ends of the pushers is a nice touch... gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I am not well versed on Breitling, but, based on the in-between position of the date & slightly imprecise corners of the case, it cannot imagine it is gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, it's a 7750 (they dont have that quick date change), note the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm going to take a chance and say its a Breitling! It looks nice either way-congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Franken with gen valjoux 7750 gen pushers, gen bracelet? Maybe all gen heck I have no idea........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaloArchive Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I say rep based off of lume dot @3 and, I can see the Breitling logo on the lock clasp went through the back of the metal. If it were gen, it would have been polished out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Cmon guys, that's a v2 skyland rep. Beautiful nonetheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 One thing I have learned from the mighty Yodap is that the font used for the bezel to stamp the "1" in "15" at the 3 o'clock position is a dead give-away for this watch. Also, the lume dots at 6 and 7 are funky. It's a beautiful watch and I hope you enjoy it! V2 rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Definitely rep. Lume dots are a give away. As are the domed screws of the bracelet. Clasp details too. Very nice rep though....mmmmmm.....shiney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'm still leaning toward gen, I think he set the time so the date would be half changed just to throw us a curve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'll let it keep going, aside from u guys that were very general, no ones got it yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'm still leaning toward gen, I think he set the time so the date would be half changed just to throw us a curve... If it's a Gen then he put a rep bezel on a Gen ... see how all the 1's have a triangle top? That's totally wrong. The top of the 1 should be a little leg that sticks out, not a triangle. Here's an image from Yodap's Breitling Tutorial .. and yes I know I made a mistake in my first post .. v2 bezels are correct, and I said v2 was wrong. SO going by what I read in this tutorial, the OP's watch is a V3 .. the v1 has a REAL half-lume-dot at the 3 o'clock and the V3 has the chrono pushers which are almost 2x longer than they should be.

andreww Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Seeing these pics on my laptop this morning (was on the iPhone last night), I can see that the bezel appears to be from a V3 although the pearl still looks more like a V2 to me. Bracelet looks like it might be a V2 as well. Caseback looks decently engraved, but I can't really see it that well in the pic. It could be a V3 caseback? Anyway, its a V3 with the possibility of some V2 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Great work RWGr's. This go's to show how good we really have it. When the top dogs in the hobby have to double take and second guess. Sounds like classification for super-rep status to me. This is a bone stock Skyland V3. This watch is supermodel hot. My favorite out of my collection. Quite possibly the nicest watch I've ever seen, wore, or owned. This watch gave my 16610 a swift kick in the ass off the "I want the gen" throne. Stay tuned for a review thread to come. Just waiting to finish sorting out some details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 That Is one beautiful timepiece Dam another must have. As long as you go in with the premise that its a 7750 and is going to need a service, out of the box- then DO IT! At the price for these V3's, move the Skyland to the top of your must have list.
