Do you know what QC pics are for? Is that the watch you ordered? Yes? Then buy it. If you had concerns about the shaping of the '2' character, ask about that before payment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 It's a rep. The dealers website will have loads of pictures showing the watch from all angles, so you can see things like the date wheel font before you order it. If the dealers website doesn't have decent pics, post the web link for us to see as I'm curious in that case. I'm not getting at you personally, but, for a minute imagine we've swapped places. I'm a newbie who's come along, wanting to buy my first rep. I've gone to a TDs website, looked at the watches, looked at the pics, compared the prices, decided what I like and ordered it. Then when I get the watch I notice that the DW font is not 100% accurate to the gen. There's pictures showing exactly what the DW font looks like on the website, so why didn't I see the problem then? Either I did see it and hoped it would look better in real life, or I didn't look closely at the pics, or I didn't look at them at all. Either way, it's my problem for not looking properly. QC pics are for comparing to the website pictures and spotting errors in that particular rep watch when compared to the "ideal sample" they used to take the website pics. No one can realistically compare a $350 rep watch to a $5000 ~ $40000 genuine watch, that's like expecting a gen $20000 car to be identical to a $350 "replica" kit car, ain't never going to happen.

Cy33 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I bought this exact watch a month ago. It is not cream color at all. It is white and it is a beauty. Just as good looking as my gen to the naked eye. I also like trying out different straps. They all look good. As the guys on here told me, just buy it and don't worry about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublewindsor Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have the exact same SA with the black face, I'm my opinion the SA is the best Breitling you can get. I've had mine for about 9 months and it's still my pride and joy. Enjoy it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
