Craig S Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi all, Don't know if you already aware, but just found that there is now a rep of the 2010 Skyland "Code yellow" Limited piece. http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_137&products_id=6798 Only thing I would say (apart from the other flaws of the V3), is that the case back is not correct, as does not have unique serial numbers as per gen. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 His description says: BACK GLASS: Close case back with Detail Engraving, Individual Serial Numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig S Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have the Gen, and the case back looks nothing like that. The caseback in the picture is a standard skyland case back. The gen case back on this watch has xxx of 1000 engraved on it etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 The numbers on the rehaut of the gen look to be yellow as the sub dial hands. The rep looks like the numbers on the rehaut are not the same yellow as the sub dial hands. It could be the lighting but the pics dont look promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig S Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yep, more yellow please. And a better case back. .... Oh and the number 15 one the bezel like the V2... And the V2 Code yellow is born! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Nice watch.... maybe my next watch Anyone got a pic of the gen caseback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 oh wait HERE they are Although this does look pertty good I see the colors are off from the gen. Not a deal breaker just a observation. The gen rehaut numbers are the same yellow color as the sub dials hands. The rep rehaut numbers seem to have this greenish tint to them,not the bold yellow as the sub dial hands. This Is still a nice looking rep Imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Being the B fan that I am, I am tired of Breitlings lame excuse for LE pieces. Change the hand color, dial colors and throw a XXXX/1000 engraving on the case back or DLC every model you have and make it a LE? LE piece should be some thing special...like the new LE Navitimer with B01 movement, or the 125th Anniv. Navitimers and SOHLEs...Chane the dial config, use a unique movement and truely doing some thing special. Give me a reason to spend more $$$ over the non-LE then just some painted hands with matching dial numbers. Enough with the dumb down Limited Edition models already.

By-Tor Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 100% agree with Bike Mike. Omega is even worse in this sense. Who really cares about all those cheesy "Special Editions" anymore? They only cheapen the brand image, imho. It was cool when they put out the original 007, now it's getting really old... all those "Olympic Special Editions", "Horse Polo European Cup 2009 Special Edition", "Australian Dwarf Tossing/Midget Throwing Championship 2007 Speedmaster", etc. Yellow looks nice on a Skyland though.

JKDDUDE Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I believe the gen also has "Swiss Made" at the 6 O'clock position. This one does not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concepta Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I got mine today and i must say it looks really good (despite the lack of "Swiss Made") The numerals are like the SA stencil dial and matches the color of the dial perfectly! The repped Pro Diver 2 is also really well made! I compared to my gen strap and the only thing i could find was the engraving on the clasp (the rep font is a tad smaller then the OEM) I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
