importr Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I acquired a fun rep of this from Reg, and i want to do a few mods to it, like AR and re-lume my question: What colour does the lume on the gen glow? I can't find any reference to it (the lume) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importr Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks chaps i have blue lume Regs version is the L/E French Air Force edition. Not completely accurate but as I said - a fun watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 looking good would be great if you could post up some wrist shots. Has a very cool military/professional look that Im digging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Love it! Do all the digital functions work on it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 WOW! I've been wanting this for a while! Never seen it offered till today! The one i've been lusting after is all black with no emblem at 9 oclock. Is that available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah the rep is a good watch for the price! It wears well on the wrist, is stealthy and is not cumbersome like the 46mm models. The functions do work, but where the gen operates via the crown (like the Breitling Aerospace), the rep has sunken pushers which you need a biro to push. So, they are not normally useable "on the run". I've not seen the rep with the std dial, only with the FAF logo. Nor have I seen the silver case version.....by the way, the rep lume is "ok" for rep lume, but is green. The hands aren't lumed for some weird reason!

metaljesus Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah theres a whole bunch of BRs out there with lumed dials and not hands. Its baffling. Was someone sitting around in a factory thinking that was acutally a good idea? Lume on dial only is as useful as zero lume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Lume on dial only is as useful as zero lume. hehehe yeah your right now that I think about it, its quite idiotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thats like the solar-powered torch light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Importr, I'm a B&R guy all the way and I'm interested in buying the same model? Can you tell me if the chrono function works? Do both digital displays work seperately? Anything else you want to share? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
