importr Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 So which colour is this meant to be? Gray or Carbon black? The rep is listed as graphite. http://www.perfect-hour.com/blb0110003-chronomat-ssss-graphite-sticks-a7750-28800bp-pi-8370.html?image=0 Compare it with Breitlings presentaion on the website: The gen has the black chapter ring BUT it also has a black datewheel. The rep dw is white. If it were meant to be the carbon black dial, then the chapter ring would be the same colour as the dial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concepta Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Can a 7753 fix the DW issue or it won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 as far as i'm aware, the 7753 is the same ligne as the a7750; so it'd fit; but the 7753 datewheel is slightly larger than the 7750 datewheel - so you couldn't use the rep datewheel. Also, the rep date window is slightly more inward (due to the DW) so you'd end up with offset font even if you did have a 7753 with correct font DW. The factory would need to build a new B01 rep, with correct dial and a 7753, just to fix the DW issue. This would have to incorporate a new DW with the correct font. The only realistic option is to have a DW overlay mod, to the current rep, to raise it. Someone really needs to make a kit for this!!

rek001 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 For those on the fence about this watch, repgeek member dtan888 has a review with some nice photos of the graphite dial B01 he just bought, this is probably the first review out there of this watch. Well, it looks prety good, much better than dealer's pics, and has changed some people's opinions from negative to positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I just can't overcome the sunken Date-wheel issue, no matter what the rest of the watch looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 as far as i'm aware, the 7753 is the same ligne as the a7750; so it'd fit; but the 7753 datewheel is slightly larger than the 7750 datewheel - so you couldn't use the rep datewheel.

The only realistic option is to have a DW overlay mod, to the current rep, to raise it. Someone really needs to make a kit for this!! The A7750 Movement is also taller then the 7753. This means the movement holders are up higher and would need to be modified. As you said, the big issue is the Date Window location in the dial is too close to center compared to the 7753. I can't get over everyone being upset about the sunken DW. We all knew this was going to be the case, yet some seem shocked by this. It is a rep, if the sunken DW is going to be the deal breaker for you, buy the Gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fijiman Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 sunken DW is an issue but how obvious is it from a normal distance. If you wearing and hanging out people who aren't that rep savvy, would they be able to tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 sunken DW is an issue but how obvious is it from a normal distance. If you wearing and hanging out people who aren't that rep savvy, would they be able to tell? My experence has been that most people wont notice because they wont be looking for a SDW. Most people dont go around scrutinizing the dial of a watch and dont even know what a SDW Is for that matter. That being said, I know It annoys people like us watch enthusiast but most folks wouldn't know a "SDW" If It was to bite them on the a$$ Mike (I do wish the DW was at the three) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Raised DW mod is the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 If you wearing and hanging out people who aren't that rep savvy, would they be able to tell? Quite frankly, most people can't spot the $20 Rolex fakes they sell on Canal street - they probably don't even know if the B01 is supposed to have a datewheel or not let alone how deep it's supposed to be set. And even if you know, you have to look pretty closely to see it. You'd look pretty stupid staring at some guy's watch on the bus trying to see if the DW is at the correct depth. This is just "the guys" wanting everything perfect. On the street it makes no diff at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fijiman Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi RLudLowe, that was a rhetorical question... I'm with you on this... it would be hardly noticeable. Quite frankly, most people can't spot the $20 Rolex fakes they sell on Canal street - they probably don't even know if the B01 is supposed to have a datewheel or not let alone how deep it's supposed to be set. And even if you know, you have to look pretty closely to see it. You'd look pretty stupid staring at some guy's watch on the bus trying to see if the DW is at the correct depth.

importr Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 FYI. I found this on the Internet. http://f4buz.com/watches/breitling/fakes/b01.html Yeah that just lists the prototype Miyota quartz reps...it needs updating with the 7750s. I'm sure it will be updated soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
