Dave123 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Hey gents. Happy new year to all. Been out of the game for a long time,hope my boys like Josh are still delivering the best of the best to you guys. That said,what is the best of the best these days?? Iv'e been wearing my gen SS and FG bentley 6.75's and not so much my bling SA (yes i still have it for those who remember) but haven't been following whats what with watches,getting the bug again. Good Breit reps to check out? decent sized gens that are sweet? fill me in. thanks guys. Andreww where are ya buddy...
By-Tor Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Dave.About the reps... no idea.But good to see you. Still sporting those oversized Super Avengers?
Dave123 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 Hey bro,good to hear from you as well. Mentioned above what i wear,the bling SA i still have but don't wear it. The Bentley's get the wrist time. Getting a bit bored of them though,wondering what's new and cool.
hansmeier Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Welcome back from a relatively new member! You can't go wrong with these ones: - Superocean Abyss Chrono (noob, ask Angus if there are still any stocks) - Seawolf v2 - Chronomat B01 - Avenger v4 (noob) 1
hackR Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 hey Dave...nice to see you back... no "out-of-the-park" Breit reps in my opinion...good ones - yes...(as hans mentioned)...great ones - no... new steelfish v2 is really good, as is the seawolf v2 above...all have flaws...not sure these are your style, anyway...
Dave123 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 So been about 3-4 years since anything decent has really come out?..we had a good stretch there of good Breit reps i guess then that was about it?. I figured,but just incase i thought i'd ask. As for the ask Angus bit,i wouldn't ask that clown the weather. If it was raining he'd steal my umbrella.
chronoluvvv Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 B01 ? no thank you, that 240 clicker bezel drove me insane when the recessed DW wasn't playing peekaboo with me Abyss ? that one belongs EXACTLY where it's name suggests other than that, good to see you alive & kicking
By-Tor Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 It's strange how few nice new Breit reps there have been. But then again there haven't been many new nice gens, either.I liked the B01 a little... but not enough to wear it that much.It was the last rep I bought. Quality work all the way. The bracelet was very stiff though... and needed hell of a lot oiling and twisting to get smoother. That recessed date never bothered me.http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/120579-review-of-breitling-windrider-chronomat-b01/
Cwall3415 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Wow, I was under the impression that the skyland avenger was a good rep? What do you guys think about the grey dial seawolf and avenger? Both these watches catch my eye! I am aware of the movement issues with the 7750?
By-Tor Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 I had the v2 Skyland. That was definitely a good rep. Is there a new version? 1
jayely1 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Isn't the Superocean Abyss 44 a really good rep???
hazey Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Superocean 44 Abyss. Super rep it is. When i look at this with a loupe its very very close to my gen Omega PO as far as dial quality. Bezel and bracelet are amazing as well
FROGMAN Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Nice to see you guys posting again. I've been offline for awhile too but I'm starting to become active.... Dave your one of the reasons I own two gen breitlings.....btw my wife thanks you
jcagara08 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Yep I am back from holidays my picka will have to be a navitimer, blackbird 2008 rep edition, chronomat evo, and skyland avenger Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
Dave123 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 Froggy,thanks brother. Aside from you,your wife has good taste...Lol. Not many around but nice to see some of the old gang..
gwxhs Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Hello from Canada, eh? I'm wondering what site the "Angus" guy belongs to - I want to get the Superocean Abyss Chrono noob, but haven't been able to find one. Also, I just bought http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_137&products_id=10401 I wasn't able to find any reviews on it prior to ordering - what are your thoughts? Thanks very much guys - Gwxhs
hansmeier Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Angus belongs to Puretime www.pureti.me - but remember they're on holiday until 9th Feb and then there will be a huge backlog of work... 1
PAMman Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 I had the v2 Skyland. That was definitely a good rep. Is there a new version? I also have one of these, fitted with a genuine Breitling B13 movement, complete with date wheel. I had an old low-beat Chrono Avenger with a dead movement, so the hi-beat & hands from the Skyland went into it and the low-beat hands were the correct ETA fitment for the Skyland, avoiding any 'bodging'. I have it on a gen Breitling brown leather deployant strap and it's a really cracking watch that is so easy to forget that it's a rep.
milsub5517 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 good to see old names posting again. been out of the loop myself and getting the bug again, it makes sense that great reps are slowing down, deamnd is down because of the disappearing middle class, and those who are getting richer can afford more gens, so here we go. im liking my skyland V2 and SFSO, kinda thinking about taking a look at the new SFSO, mine is asian version with the regular crystal, no saphire. i do like navi's! but have my concerns about accuracy/reliability.
dannyboy Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 I would agree that the Skyland is the best/most accurate IMHO.
samhouston Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Hello from a rookie !! all the skyland owners, did you guys come across any issues with the movement? and how long have you used it without service? i just ordered the new skyland and wondering if i shud get is serviced right away or just use it for a while and then think about it . Edited February 12, 2014 by samhouston
nikki6 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 Froggy,thanks brother. Aside from you,your wife has good taste...Lol. Not many around but nice to see some of the old gang.. Some of us are still bumbling around!! Great to hear you back bud!! And you Hack!!
Breitlingforbentley Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 how about bentley? is there any good copies of the breitling for bentley?
