cougaree Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Zigmeister does perfect job! This may be an understatement. I got my babies back and they are looking great! Franken BCE v3 - gen bezel, gen dial, relumed hands Franken SOSF v1 - gen dial, pearl relume, gen swiss movement Skyland v3 - dial, hands and pearl reluming, lume dot fix, movement service. The results are great! The best one is the Franken SOSF. The stock AR is amazing, but looks even better with gen dial. The dial on BCE v3 is awesome, however the fitting of the gen bezel to the case is just ok (the grove for bezel spring on the case is slightly wider than I want, so the bezel is not pushed against the case tightly). The gen bezel fitting on my TT BCE v2 is much better. Word of advice, if you want to fit a gen bezel, get a v2 that has asian date font. Apparently, there are some differences between BCE v2 and v3 other than the upgraded fonts.
Toadtorrent Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Holy COW!!! WOW...those are some stunners. WOW...I hate people like you who make me want to spend my children's inheritance like this. Thanks for the great post!!
RealReplica Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Beautiful pieces you got in there. Where did you source the fish gen dial? If you don't mind me asking. The gen dials on the fish are amazing and its a big tell to the rep, the rep dial doesn't get anywhere close to the gen.
cougaree Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks guys! Here are couple more. I wish I have BT's photo skills because they just simply look much better in real life. Especially for the SOSF, I don't know how I can capture that something makes it so special. Last pic is a quick lume shot, they could be brighter but I didn't really charge it. Enjoy and have a great day!

ubiquitous Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Those look amazing! Great result, and beautiful watches!

The gen dials on the fish are amazing and its a big tell to the rep, the rep dial doesn't get anywhere close to the gen. You are the third person ask about this. The fish dials are truly hard to find. Few months ago, there were two for auction on the bay. This one and a blue one, from two different sellers. This one came from a seller in Switzerland. The blue one were from Australia. There might be someone on this board who bought the blue one, but I'm not so sure. Keep an eye on the bay, that's what I would suggest. It can take days or years for the next one to show up. Good luck!
cougaree Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Posted June 7, 2010 More light. Try natural lighting outside... a balcony or something... it gives excellent results. Ok, I will give it another shot later this afternoon. Thanks for the advice! It will be on my wrist with a gen Pro I bracelet

By-Tor Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 This is the best dial shot of the black version (that I've seen).
cougaree Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks BT! Just took these shots... much better.
RealReplica Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 This is the best dial shot of the black version (that I've seen). Great shot no doubt, that shows exactly why I say the rep dial doesn't get anywhere close to the gen.
By-Tor Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 @cougaree: Lightbox shots are very challenging and demand a perfect setup but you can easily get great photos in natural lighting. And those are great shots! They all look amazing... three of my fav. Breits right there. Pro1 bracelet is cool too. Gen dial makes a world of difference!
OSRep Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Im speechless - and a little jealous Absolutely amazing trio Cougaree. I love the SOSF and BCE!.....Your photos are very good too....Congrats and wear all three in great health.
Mickey Padge Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Amazing quality, outstanding watches and pictures, thanks for sharing! But please get that Skyland onto a gen strap, the faux croc leather rep straps are horrible!
cougaree Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Posted June 7, 2010 I hear you man. I've been thinking about getting a gen strap, but I also kind of like the look of the rep bracelet. How is the quality of the rep bracelet anyway?
cougaree Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Posted June 7, 2010 What do you think those BOB straps for Breitling?
Mickey Padge Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Having owned both the faux rep strap and the gen croc/calf straps, I have to be honest and say the rep strap is awful, really bad Check ebay for an aftermarket strap, they are good value, and use genuine croc leather http://cgi.ebay.de/KROKOBAND-BREITLING-FALTSCHLIESSE-22-18mm-BRAUN-/350288723913?cmd=ViewItem&pt=DE_Mode_Accessoires_Uhren_Schmuck_Uhrenarmb%C3%A4nder&hash=item518ed5bfc9 http://cgi.ebay.de/Ersatzarmband-Breitling-Alligator-22-18-mm-schwarz-/230407855704?cmd=ViewItem&pt=DE_Mode_Accessoires_Uhren_Schmuck_Uhrenarmb%C3%A4nder&hash=item35a560de58 http://cgi.ebay.de/Watchstrap-Alligator-fits-Breitling-22-18-mm-brown-/350288815237?cmd=ViewItem&pt=DE_Mode_Accessoires_Uhren_Schmuck_Uhrenarmb%C3%A4nder&hash=item518ed72485 http://cgi.ebay.de/KROKO-KOMPATIBEL-BREITLING-FALTSCHLIESSE-22-20-SCHWARZ-/370215699968?cmd=ViewItem&pt=DE_Mode_Accessoires_Uhren_Schmuck_Uhrenarmb%C3%A4nder&hash=item5632934600 Some are 22/18mm, other 22/20, so check your deployant buckle size
deniz21 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 wow i dont think you need another watch anytime soon great watches, everyone of them wear them well
Mickey Padge Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 What do you think those BOB straps for Breitling? They are nice, good value, but steer clear of the fake croc grain "stamped" straps, best to get a simple calf strap, or something with genuine croc leather
Mickey Padge Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 I don't know why, but I can't stand croc "grain" straps, the only benefit is the low price. Give me gen croc leather every time!
deniz21 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 i am a poor guy what should i do and of course im a poser so this ones are my only option
