krpster Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is that a gen OR too? Very nice uberfranken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I would definitely say that this is gen at this point. No doubt. You got yourself a gen Breitling SA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedman Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMIDSY Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I get hands new from breitling along with the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedman Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
