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. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Thanks Lani!

I will!

I'm really happy with it, this one's a keeper!

The sizing was a bit tricky hehe ;-) Had to use two screwdrivers on opposite sides to get the last link loose

Greetings from Holland

Very nice piece wimpie.

Congrats again on being the Lucky one thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

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. :huh:

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?

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! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Box looks Gen. but it is incorrect for this model. Congrats on your winnings! :drinks:

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! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

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! :drinks:

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!

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. :drinks:

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 ... B)

be a good sport BM.. :lol:

Thanks for sticking up for me though Lani ;-)

OFF topic: Can't believe NORing won again! It was close to my ticket too hehe ;-)
