geneticlone Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have made my first purchase from Joshua (hunter-milgauss) and I am waiting for it right now. However, I am not really interested in that watch as much as I am in a 2009 BlackBird. However, I am not sure which one two get, can you help: Joshua: URL: Click Here WatchEden IMAGE: Click Here URL: Click Here Now, the watcheden watch will come out pretty cheap, since its listed at 108 dollars and they also have the 20 dollars off and then shipping. Joshua's watch will be just under 400 dollars, my question is: Is the quality that much better to spend the extra 200-300 dollars on Joshua's version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yes the Perfect clones version is FAR superior to the other which looks like a quartz and not accurate at all. The blackbird is a wonderful watch and a very nicely replicated item in the 7750 configuration so go for that one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 The one from WE is a 21J with faux chronos and a 39 day calendar. Fantasy too as it has a blue dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 The one Josh is showing has the wrong case back for sure, i have never seen a BB with that case back, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 The one Josh is showing has the wrong case back for sure, i have never seen a BB with that case back, That's the correct caseback for the new facelift blackbird. The biggest difference is that the case and bracelet are now polished, the dial has more markers on the minute counting subdial (they're missing on the rep as they used the old dial), and has a new caseback. That's all. Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geneticlone Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hmm, yeah I actually like the case back that Josh has, of course its not like the gen but it kind of adds more interesting detail. the BLACKBIRD text case back doesn't really appeal to much to me but then again neither does the price lol.

max33 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 the dial has more markers on the minute counting subdial (they're missing on the rep as they used the old dial) Greetz. I tried to find the difference in the quantity of the minute markers between the brushed and polished versions but couldn't not find it. Can you elaborate on that please? The only diference I see is that polished bracelet clasp has raised logo and the brushed one has it engraved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Id consider a V3 Skyland if I were you. Better rep IMO and $130 cheaper. http://www.perfect-hour.com/0blsa10007-skyland-avenger-chrono-ssss-graphite-a7750-28800-p-5122.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Not that it is a big deal but the caseback on the BB has always been wrong. The wording is recessed not raised. And there should not be a frame sround the word Blackbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 i still think its just plain wrong for Breitling to make a polished BB... the lure of the BB is the fantastic brushed case and bracelet...the brushed bracelet on my BB is simply one of the best on all my reps - and gens!...

lanikai Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 What the new BB version delivers is nice tabs.. the first version was riddled with misaligned tab issues.. I'll take an incorrect case back over the tabs.. it was mad to view .. and there was nothing you could do about it.. either the bezels cuts were off or the tab was cut so crooked .. the V3 looks really good.. mine is coming back from GZ with a new case set.., it's already been to Canada .. so hopefully it will be wearable..
