wimpie007 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi there, i was one of the winners of the last raffle, couldn't be happier! Lani put up his own BCE as a price and lucky me won it! Wanted to share some pics i made (no daylight so this is the best i could do with my Canon 870IS Here they are: Some minor scratches on the bracelet, will polish this out later ;-) LUME SOME MORE PICS WITH THE BCE IN A GEN(i think ;-) it was sold as such to me) BAKELITE BOX: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I love that BCE combination. I know Lani really liked this piece, so he's a true gentleman to let it go. I'd be pretty honored to own that! Lan the man is always trying to get people to support the boards, this shows how giving he is, not just "do as I say not as I do" type of a guy. Glad to see you post, and hope to see you around the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Did I mention I love that dial! check the bezel screws. If they are loose, either: loctite them if they have threads or, if there are no threads, use loctite superglue gel. Probably not an issue since this was Lani's. Just in case though, since it is apparently brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can someone chime in to tell me if the Breit Box i got a while back is GEN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkBachs Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 IT'S FAKE!!!! The tell is the off center date wheel as seen in the last pics!!!! Sorry, the only way I knew to make myself feel better, I never win anything... Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 silver CF leather would be killer i have one for my silver SO Please share some pics of that. I have the Gen. Rhodium dial and I have been trying to figure out leather strap for it and have come up with nothing. Now silver CF might be it! Checked em, not loose ;-) What kind of leather would suit this dial or is it better on SS? Also can someone chime in to tell me if the Breit Box i got a while back is GEN? Box looks Gen. but it is incorrect for this model. Congrats on your winnings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpie007 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 silver CF leather would be killeri have one for my silver SO Please post some pics and where did you source the strap from? IT'S FAKE!!!! The tell is the off center date wheel as seen in the last pics!!!! Sorry, the only way I knew to make myself feel better, I never win anything... :wounded1:Congrats! Hehe, well it's only off center because it is n early 12 o clock. A friend of mine's gen Navitimer also starts going from around half past 11 Box looks Gen. but it is incorrect for this model. Congrats on your winnings! Yeah i know it's doesnt belong to this model, Box is off a Breitling Colt and so was the gen tag Thanks! Really happy with it!

Bike Mike Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Looking over your pics, the "Tachymetre" stands out much better over the Gen. Very hard to even see it on the Gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Bad dog ... be a good sport BM.. I am complimenting his piece. I think the “Tachymetre” is so subdued on the Gen, there is no point in having it. Breitling should have made it stand out more like the Rep. as the red text really goes well with the dial.

Breitling should have made it stand out more like the Rep. as the red text really goes well with the dial. Yeah i read i like that the the first time, thanks Bike Mike. Though the macro greatly enhances it. I can barely see it when i look with the naked eye Bad dog ... be a good sport BM.. Thanks for sticking up for me though Lani ;-) OFF topic: Can't believe NORing won again! It was close to my ticket too hehe ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
