redwatch Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Looks amazing R! Well done! I definitely love the UTC module bracelet. Makes for a very unique look! Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Looks good, wish i could find a UTC or Co pilot for my blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Looks good, wish i could find a UTC or Co pilot for my blackbird Andy -- i have a 12 hour UTC mounted on the polished ss bracelet that came with my v1 white dial "fantasy" CA (same casing and details as the ti version, but in ss)...i got the UTC module by buying a cheapo breitling that had one...i then worked it...mine came brushed - so i had a local jeweler polish it up to match the polished ss bracelet...check out the cheapo breits to see if there's one that you could do that with...i have a Blackbird, too...i'd have to check to see if you could "splice" one into the amazing existing BB bracelet...the BIGGEST issue i see is finding a black dial one that doesn't distract from the BB dial...the cheapo ones, don't have any AR and i'm definitely sure that the black colors won't match...i'm lucky that the black 24 hour utc i have on this one, does actually have a AR...so it looks perfect!...Jakub's double AR is slightly blue...and its pretty darn close to what the stock 24 hour UTC has...good luck!...R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Gotta love the titanium Breits. You get that cool, heavy looking case without the weight. Plus you never have to worry about desk diving mark! Leonaro Dicaprio couldn't have picked a better watch to wear in Blood Diamonds. Can't wait to see the family pic mate, you lucky ba$tard!

Toadtorrent Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Great looking piece. I love that UTC module. One of these days I'll get me a Ti watch...one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 You get that cool, heavy looking case without the weight. A - you are soooooo right...my v1 ss white dial CA with UTC weighs a ton...but its great fun to wear...i should have it brushed...hmmmmmmmm...say - any idea if the UTC bracelet was an option with the Seawolf or was it just with the CA?...

andreww Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I think the UTC was always an upgrade available for all the ti bodied avengers. I don't think breitling limits watch/strap/bracelet combinations, meaning you can order what you want, provided it fits and you have the cash.

hackR Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 thanks, A...what i learned with my gen Aerospace was that you couldn't buy just the UTC module and add it to an existing bracelet...you had to buy an entire UTC bracelet...

Bike Mike Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 ...not all UTC modules have actual 24 hour movements - some have 12 hour movements...swapped the bracelets -- which are the same - no difference to me... Yep, found this out when I got mine, 12 hour! Big disappointment! Still serves the purpose of a second time zone though. Looks great on your Seawolf!

hackR Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 thanks, BM!... yeah - when i got my white dial utc i, too, was disappointed that it was 12 hour...i just set it the same as the hands on the main watch...i bought my v2 CA sight unseen from a respected member...didn't even know it had a utc...when i discovered it was 24 hour clock, i was thrilled...pretty cool...
