Craig S Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 Hi guys, Just thought I'd share with a few photos of my new purchase with you. It's the Avenger Code yellow, number 777 of 1000! Apologies for the photos, but they are taken with my mobile phone as I just got the watch this afternoon and havn't had a chance to take some decent pics. Photos dont do it any justice at all, its beautiful!
hackR Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 looks great, Craig... how close is the yellow of the hands with the yellow of the numbers/markers on the rehaut?... thanks for sharing!... R-
chronoluvvv Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 looks great, Craig... how close is the yellow of the hands with the yellow of the numbers/markers on the rehaut?... thanks for sharing!... R- x 22 also it looks like the missing decals "Swiss Made" on the dial have been fixed
hackR Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 also it looks like the missing decals "Swiss Made" on the dial have been fixed nice catch...
Craig S Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Posted November 19, 2010 x 22 also it looks like the missing decals "Swiss Made" on the dial have been fixed I'd hope so, it's a gen!! haha
Craig S Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Posted November 19, 2010 looks great, Craig... how close is the yellow of the hands with the yellow of the numbers/markers on the rehaut?... thanks for sharing!... R- Hi Rob, The numbers on the rehaut (even where it says "Automatic" on the dial is definitely a darker/warmer hue than the hands. The hands are vivid bright yellow, where the numbers on rehaut have a more golden colour to the yellow. The rep isnt too far off when I compared today. Number 1 at 15 is wrong of course, as is using V3 case and caseback isnt limited ed caseback. And, yeah, the swiss made type is missing on the rep. Apart from that the rep isnt far off at all. Hope they fix these glitches on the rep.
hackR Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 yikes!!!!... my apologies, craig...i thought this WAS the rep...and was thinking it looked pretty gooooooooood... seriously - congrats on this piece...and love the 777 serial number... nothing like a gen!...
krpster Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 Great piece, looks really nice. Cool number too. Enjoy!
andreww Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 you know, as good as reps are, I was able to determine this was gen very quickly. The quality of the Pearl was the big giveaway on this one, although I was really hoping that it was a very good version from the V2 maker. Congrats on a beautiful watch with a very lucky number!
chronoluvvv Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 yikes!!!!... my apologies, craig...i thought this WAS the rep...and was thinking it looked pretty gooooooooood... seriously - congrats on this piece...and love the 777 serial number... nothing like a gen!... x 22, haha can ya imagine the poor fool who got 778 ? he must be cursing you so bad !
Fireman_Fred Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 I actually thought this was a rep because the 45 on the bezel looks quite messy !!
Craig S Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah, pearl is always a giveway with many reps. Number 45 is engraved fine, must just be lighting on shot. I must say tho, the rep aint far off. Only a few minor tweaks and they are there on that one. Maybe factores/dealers got a shed load of v3 cases to get rid of first tho eh?
Craig S Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Posted November 21, 2010 A v2 rep of this watch with a better caseback would be THE rep Andreww
SMIDSY Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 so so many flaws! I'm surprised Andrew let this past QC awesome awesome my fav breitling I think ever made....
Craig S Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Posted November 22, 2010 Will get some decent photos posted soon, once I figure how to do macro shots with my new camera.
hackR Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 really gorgeous gen...wear it well, craig... as for the rep setup, i'm thinking a code yellow dial and handset parts order with a dealer, would freshen up those tired, black/blue/gray avengers....
JKDDUDE Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 Swiss Made was the first dead give away -- then...pretty much everything else! Nice, nice watch, brother...
By-Tor Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 Looks amazing. Yellow color fits great to this watch. Skyland is a great, great rep but nothing compares to the gen. If you really, really like some watch model why don't go for the gen route. Visually you'll get that final 10% sorted, plus a superior movement of course.
Craig S Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Posted November 24, 2010 I've been a big fan of the skyland for some time now. I have both the v2 and v3. It was the owning of the reps that triggered me to buy this gen in the end.
wimpie007 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Nice! Only just seen this, i have the rep and now i see the differences. A caseback shot from yours would be appreciated ;-)
