Martyd3 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I ordered this in place of my Explorer II 216570, which I finally gave up on. I didn't think I would like it or keep it. Out of all the brands, I think Breitling is the one of the toughest to replicate. They have a look and fit/finish that I've never seen duplicated convincingly. Everything is right about this one. They nailed the feel of the bezel, the look of the AR, the high polish on the case, the bracelet fit and finish. It's about perfect. I'm sure you could nitpick and find something off a bit, but I'm not sure why you would buy the gen. It's really that good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Beautiful watch! I've been thinking about this one... How's the lume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 It's good. I haven't been able to charge it in daylight yet, but it looks to be super luminova to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks great, I've also been thinking of that one. AR is super, how's the bracelet/clasp? Any sharp edges, poor fit, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sharp edges, poor fit, etc. No sharp edges, the end links fit nice and tight, the clasp closes correctly with a nice positive click and there are no problem with the bracelet screws.
