Newbie info Breitling First Purchase

[deano09]

Hi all,

Done some looking into getting my first Brietling, never bought a clone watch online and not really up with the lingo of the workings of a watch.

The ones i have selected i like the most are the following, what would you guys recommend? you will notice the style of watch I am liking as they are all quite similar.

Transocean - BLT10002S Transocean chrono SS/SS Black Jap 0S20

Chronomatic - BL10068 Vintage Chrono-matic SS black manual Chronos

Montbrilliant - BLMB01002 Montbirlliant SS/SS Black A-7750 28800bph

Navitimer - BL10009 Navitimer Black Dial Numeral markers Working Chronograph

Main question is what is the main difference on the insides of the watch that makes the price point jump up?

Any help would be much appreciated.. also was thinking of giving josh from perfect clones a go for my first, anyone recommend anyone different or is this is a worthy choice?

no bashing the newbie...

cheers

Ok after some more research and no replies

I have decided to go with the navitimer.

I have seen some people have had some problems with the rep, in regards to the date code falling and ensuring the right movements. I was told by Andrew at trusty times "Those with Asia 7750 movement are the better high end replicas"

Is this what i should be searching for as the right movement for this watch.. Any guidance with choosing the right navitimer would be really appreciated as i am not a watch maker, i wont be able to repair it myself, eventhough i do find it interesting and wouldnt mind teaching myself about it.

is there a guide for learning about the movements, and why certain ones are more reliable than others and more expensive. i couldnt find anything through search.

I havent found any navitimers with the swiss movements (which from researching on here) seems to be the best movement around.

Sorry for so many questions.. new to this hobby... but do LOVE it and excited to get into it abit more

just google th movements.. the A7750 is a good movement.. not as reliable as an ETA movement, but there's no better option for a watch with chronos, except for the Swiss 7750 (very expensive)

I'm a newbie too, welcome to the forum it's a great place! I've just bought my first rep - a Tag Carrera with the A7750 movement. From my research and the feedback I've had here as far as I'm concerned the A7750 is a fine movement, it will need servicing but as long as you look after your watch it hopefully should not be required for a couple of years. If you want a good 4 or 5 trouble free years get it serviced straight away. The Swiss movements are great but a well maintained Asain movement will serve you well. There is plenty to read about these movements but I'm happy with the Asian movement.

That's great info about the movements, I was looking at a few for a chrono or sub-dial project. 7750 was one of them!

My Asian 7750 movements have been fantastic. Very little trouble. If any ay all. If you dont mind a three hand auto the Seawolf Is a excellent choice. It also has a Swiss eta 2836. I love mine and It keeps excellent time. A very well made rep.

If Chronographs are your thing you might want to take a look at the new Skyland. Very nice.

Good luck.

Maxman I agree! The Seawolf is one of the best breitling reps and one of the most accurate reps ever made. I highly recommend it!
