Chronus Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've seen some posts on the BCE graphite dial that mention inaccuracies in the colouring. My question is - how accurate is this version of the rep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millwright Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Subdials are the wrong color. I posted about this already. Red writing dials should have the same color dials, model # 742, graphite dial and subdials. White writing gets the black subdials, model #748, slate grey dial and black subdials. All that info is straight from the 07 Chronolog and price list. My biggest issue with it is that the lower #'s underneath the 6 o'clock lume spot don't line up. Other than that... it's an AMAZING rep. You'd have to stare at the rep for a few secs to catch the #'s alignment, and if you don't know the model(s)/catalog well, you won't catch the dial coloring.

chrgod Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 The Date Font is the only issue that I personally think really differ.. Breitling uses slightly bigger numbers than the regular ETA font. But the font on Angus' Evo is very close, only less bold. Genuine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 So is the white the most accurate dial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 yes for now it is, the black that's yet to be released should also be accurate - well black is black isn't it I just hate the color of the subdials being different than the dial on the Graphite after all this anticipation amd the long wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 So the White Dial is the most accurate dial of all the Chronomat Evolution, but from Angus' site, it does not describe the differences between the regular Chrono Evolution and the "Ultimate Evolution". Are there any differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any differences? Im pretty sure that the normal one was the version that was being sold by most dealers before this new one was released. So it would be less accurate than the Ultimate edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 And Ar coat. Someone else had mentioned the date font was different and engraving on the lugs but I don't know if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the dial? the biggest flaw on the old version was the hands: they have the wrong color - greyish chrome rather than high polished finished.

Yeah, I read that too, that the hands appeared to be too dark in gray color. Both versions are the same price, but I don't know if the graphite dial is for me.....but then again, can't knock it until i buy it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 The lume was also too green if I remember correctly. The Ultimate edition is definitely the one to buy! There are some other coloured dials on the way, wait around until you see some reviews of those? I have the white and that is really nice! There is another dark coloured dial released if the Graphite doesn't appeal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for letting me know...the BCE grows on me and I might go for a grey dial version!! Cheers mates, Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 the graphite dial has the swirl marks for sure but not sure about the grey dial but i think it does as well , i think they r more refined in genuine or it could be the ar coating is hiding them when taking pics but i looked at mine u can see them faintly joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
