njmike Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) After 8 days I received my first rep, I was like a kid on christmas opening the package. After playing with the watch, putting it on checking it out in the mirror too see how it looks on my wrist I started paying attention too the details. What I found 1- This bothers me the most because its right in your face and in my opinion gives this watch its appeal and that's the rotating part of the bezel, the knurled part is not as deep and defined as the gen and is a little more cluttered then the gen 2- The grooves carved into the rotating part of the bezel are also not as deep and defined and are not visible when looking straight at the watch face like they are on the gen 3- the deployment clasp does not feel like strong metal and the engravings are correct but not engravings they are not deep at all infect they feel raised when I run my finger over them 4- The spoke wheel on the back of the watch is very well done, it feels and looks great but the spokes on the wheel are not as wide as the gen (but very close I can live with it no complaints) 5- The leather band IMO is very good and feels great on, what seems different from the gen is the writing is usually red on the gen and the inside of the leather feels like suede this does not 6- The dial seems perfect too me I know some have said that the blue dial does not look good but I can tell you in person this dial pops everything at even a up close looks very Genuine 7- The feel of the watch in my hand as far as materials and weight is also very good the weight especially is spot on and the watch feels very comfortable on the wrist 8- the Crystal has a light AR coating and looks very crisp Sorry about the photos I have a Canon but took these with my phone if anyone wants a more detailed pic let me know and I will take some with my good camera Hope you guys enjoy the pics if you have any questions just ask Edited January 10, 2013 by njmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmike Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Here is good example of what I am saying about the rotating part of the bezel with the side grooves and knurls (not sure thats the correct term) but you can see the difference in details from gen/rep.

opti Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 they are both reps in the photos. Its that you have the new version of the bentley which was updated by breitling also, the update was that they made the rings on the subdials thicker. The rep maker must have used a different bezel cause the one you have is pretty [censored] compared to the first version. First version isnt made anymore far as i know. my V1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmike Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ok thanks for the info I did not no that, the bezel on yours is much better. Its the only gripe I have with the watch everything else is perfect too me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
