Dave123 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 There is no rep anything close to gen. And frankly it is a watch that even a hardcore Breitling fan will get tired of quickly.
thealphabeta Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I have to get me a Skyland! Phwoar....
wimpie007 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Which rep is closest to resembling the actual functions of the original? I would have thought adding a GMT hand was a few gears, and the 30s counter is simply different gear ratios. Of course every gear train mod brings the datewheel lower and lower and lower... That GMT really is beautiful...shame it goes for so much in Gen form. Might give it the once-over at an AD. THis is what my rep looks like, never wear it. It's for sale ;-) Bentley GMT:
chronoluvvv Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 i feel that i must have a gray Skyland or a Seawolf soon
frankpower88 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 OK, so here is my new (to me) seawolf
frankpower88 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 whats the story behind your 6.75, looks like old case and new dial......
israg Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Actually it is. I bought the black dial after getting the watch.
wimpie007 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 i feel that i must have a gray Skyland or a Seawolf soon Why the or? I have both ;-)
wimpie007 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 OK, so here is my new (to me) seawolf Yum Yum! Gen right?
chronoluvvv Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Why the or? I have both ;-) me too, two each actually but i want MORE ! Yum Yum! Gen right? gotta be, look @ those lume dots
frankpower88 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 yeah its gen guys. but seriously, comparing it to my franken SA, nobody could tell wich one is rep vs gen, apart of course geeks with trained eyes. but built quality of reps is impressive today. they only lack quality control, like the lume dots on seawolf. i have seen some seawolf's with relume dials and they could almost pass as gen. Dave, the old 6.75 case has a smaller bezel and the pattern is not the same as the new 6.75 cases (rep and gen) you have to look closely to see the difference. i actually prefer the first version. its the same with dials, the new 6.75 has bigger metal surronds around the subdials (gen and rep again) i think that israg's 6.75 combines better of both, even if not accurate to gen.
wimpie007 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 me too, two each actually but i want MORE ! gotta be, look @ those lume dots Yeah and the pearl looks really nice too! haven't seen a rep close to the real thing. Also the bezel engravings are too nice to be rep
frankpower88 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 you are right, bezel engravings are crisper on the gen, after all there has to be some differences...
Bike Mike Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 And frankly it is a watch that even a hardcore Breitling fan will get tired of quickly. Never!
Rolexman Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 I don't know if I'm really a "Rolex man". There's only one Rolexman Bentley GT
