Speedman Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Here are two pics of my incoming hyperfranken Super Avenger. Its got gen dial, gen hands, gen bezel and gen movement. Its a v3 case, v2 xtal and caseback. Its serviced to cosc specs by a Breitling watchsmith. Big credit to Sir Smidsy for building this one
plaifender Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 awesome! Didn't know that gen bezels were compatible on these. Functionality the same? bezel held by screws??
maxman Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Cant get to much closer to a gen,beautiful SA Speed,one of my favorite reps.
krpster Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Is that a gen OR too? Very nice uberfranken.
ExtraExtra Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 I would definitely say that this is gen at this point. No doubt. You got yourself a gen Breitling SA.
Speedman Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks guys Havent gotten it yet, but its inbound. The bezel is fixed via a gen retention ring and screws. The OR is not gen, buts its nice anyways. Going to put it on a gen Pro2 soon

Speedman Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 The rep OR straps are Indeed very nice,I would not pay the difference for the gen. Yep, I've had gen OR on a franken SA before, and compared it to a rep, not that big of a difference. Think Im going to buy a gen Pro2 bracelet, or perhaps try the latest/newest rep Pro2. Heard very much good things about that one.
SMIDSY Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Oi where's the credit to the guy who built it
Speedman Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 Oi where's the credit to the guy who built it Ups, fixed my friend
SMIDSY Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Yay TY it's a real stunner. I never liked this dial but when you see how it catches the light and with the AR you realise how amazing it is...

concepta Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Come and get the B13 movement from me *edit* Saw it already have a gen mov
SMIDSY Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Yes concepta and this one came straight from breitling including all the paperwork I'll drop you a PM seeing as you're my Cpubterpart for IWC
Revano Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Very nice. Where can you get this gen-like version?
Speedman Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 From the man who posted above you, Smidsy
Bike Mike Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Very nice piece! Gen hands...Breitling hands are one use only. You put them on once and they are typically destroyed when they are removed during service. I know watchmakers that cut the hands off and replace the 60s Chrono wheel, Cannon pinion and hour wheel, because the hands are next to impossible to remove. Where the hands opened up so they could be re-used?
SMIDSY Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I get hands new from breitling along with the movement.
Speedman Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 That's sweet, Congrats!!! Thanks
Speedman Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 Here´s a crappy Iphone4-pic of my new arrival. The OR was to short, so I had to put it on a Panatime "Panerai" while Im trying to source a gen Pro2....or a rep Pro2 Got a Maratac Elite black/blue inbound also. Going to wait to take better pics tomorrow
