phaedo Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Got my one from Andrew a few weeks ago, being new to the brand I would not be able to say if the AR is correct or not, but going into a watch dealer today (they don't carry Breitling but do carry a few Swiss brands), she assumed it was a genuine. What I can say is it is a lovely watch, comparing it side by side with a Tag aquaracer chrono it definately looks worth a lot more, and looks better built also.

Rolexman Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 If the new Evo is as expensive has the Hublot BB... I'll pass and go for the 2nd generation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 24mm lug width??? Angus, are you sure that the rep will come with 24mm lug width? It would be the wrong size because the genuine watch has just 22mm (catalogue says: 22/20mm: Lug with/ clasp) The only current Breitling (genuine) watch with 24mm lug width is the Navitimer GMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureTime Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 If the new Evo is as expensive has the Hublot BB... I'll pass and go for the 2nd generation! Of course not, the watch maker has promised the price will be more or less the same as the current one, you may expect a liitle add up for the AR coating 24mm lug width???

I made the mistake... should be 22 then, I should say sorry to the forum member talking about the leather strap... Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Oh.. sorry.. I made the mistake... should be 22 then, Angus you made my day... I was afraid about that obvious flaw... As aid: I am in for that great EVO (you received my pm). But please with 22mm lug width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Of course not, the watch maker has promised the price will be more or less the same as the current one, Thank god .... I'm still in. Can't wait for the group buy to start! Do you know if all the dial combos will be launched at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureTime Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Dear All, Pre-order starts, please read my dealer section for more info. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=18388 Cheers, Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Angus, Can you clarify Which models have the steps on the hour markers, as some of the pictures and descriptions don't quite match ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 GREAT ANGUS! I would prefer to see some pics of the SS bracelet before jumping in... there are still too many questionmarks. They look great but I 'm still not convinced if they're really better than the 2nd gen (apart from the AR.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureTime Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 GREAT ANGUS! I would prefer to see some pics of the SS bracelet before jumping in... there are still too many questionmarks. They look great but I 'm still not convinced if they're really better than the 2nd gen (apart from the AR.) I knew you will say this, I just got the bracelet sample today, will take some pics and post here. Have you read about my side by side comparison between the 2nd version and my 3rd version (on post #28)? I have compairon on AR, dial printing, dial engraving, date font (2nd version has wrong date font), pushers, bezel and its screws, and case back engravings, all are DIFFERENT! And my 3rd version has about 5 or 6 colors of leather straps to choose from (will have detailed pics on all of them tomorrow) and I will also do a side by side comparison on the bracelet later today. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me for the pre-order price, it does not hurt to know just a price, you can simply compare the quality and then the price, you will find how worthy this watch is.

PureTime Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Angus, Can you clarify Which models have the steps on the hour markers, as some of the pictures and descriptions don't quite match ? Only the graphite dial will have stairs on its markers, others will have plain markers. The following show the gen pics of this release (4 models), these pics are only for reference.

Richard Tracy Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Just received the final sample of the white dial chronomat evo today, took some pics and did a comparison between the current version and the coming (my) version (upper one is the coming versio and lower one is the current version). These have to be fixed before releasing: 1. The stick markers will be changed to without 'stairs'. 2. The pearl will be changed to much better one. Please grap the last chance to suggest, thank you! Enjoy: 2. Hands lume colour 3. Dial printing and date font Angus, please make sure that the wings are aligned directly over the T,... QC problems will send me to the first version, no matter the other improvements... Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retep Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 WOW.... Nice... Andrew Dear Andrew, This attitude is not appreciated. I really don`t understand you and joshua. Puretime is just informing us and that is GOOD! You are getting less customers with this attitude. I`m not ordering from you anymore! cheers!

Rolexman Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Hate to say it but the 2nd gen bracelet looks much better...serial# engraved, clasp fold writing much crisper. Also the end link on the 2nd gen appears closer to the real deal (more bend mid links and screws instead of pins). Too bad there's no pic of the actual clasp (only a side view)! No improvement on the bracelet IMO! Edited January 7, 2007 by Rolexman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Angus, due to the current postings here: Please show us pics of the final product. The perfect EVO would be a mix between the 2nd and the 3rd generation: Bracelet of the 2nd, ar coating and dials of the 3rd for example (I know there are further features but the community knows what I am meaning). As far as I understood there is a deadline for placing pre-orders. Although I did so I'd like to wait with payment 'til I've seen the final product: I want to get what I see Thanks!
