By-Tor Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Great review and pics. Breitling Guide updated.
HauteHippie Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 The AR coating on Breitlings is what gives them that final touch. It's awesome! Adds a totally different dimension to the watch! Not just Breitlings, let me tell you!! After getting my VCO done, I can't stop wearing it and staring at it!! It's hard to describe, but the AR just pushes it over the top and makes it look like a genuine expensive watch.

It's hard to describe, but the AR just pushes it over the top and makes it look like a genuine expensive watch. AR does indeed make a rep look gen. It's subtle, but I think I'm hooked. Breitling Guide updated. Cheers, mate.
HauteHippie Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 AR does indeed make a rep look gen. It's subtle, but I think I'm hooked. I think the reduced reflections bring the dial detail into better focus when you look at the watch. So on a watch with a fantastic dial like the VCO (and the Steelfish I might add) it really makes a tremendous difference.
coolfire Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I know. That's my point. I'm exceedingly bitter over the whole cartel issue. The phrase "Dun be a Pug", uttered by Joshua as an insult, came from someone complaining about their appalling price-fixing attempts of this very watch. This is why I had to have it from the first Non-cartel dealer that made it available. You can't use my name as an insult without expecting me to take it a little to heart. What people need to understand is that Joshua and Andrew have repeatedly misled them and, from what I can tell, people are ok with it. They price-hiked this watch and a few others saying that their cartel were the only people that would ever get this watch and the price would never drop. This was said so that people would buy off them instead of waiting for the cheaper dealers to get it. Well, we fell for it, and it looks like we were happy to be drawn into their game. They get away with it because we're happy to let them. Anyway, rant over. Support your local, non-price-fixing, non-colluding dealer. Amen... And I heard that Jay's gonna carry it soon too...
Mickey Padge Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I would really love to know who these dealers are Are they European based? It's always good to find new sellers, even more so if they are in your part of the world....... Cheers

Precious Time is in the UK (I can't wait for next-day delivery of watches when I move to Scotland!) and Epoch is in the US.
dak244 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Hmm.. so now we get the "Guaranteed to 1000ft".... Is this really true? Would/has anyone actually taken these things in the water? If so, I'd be all over one. Got a cruise this summer, and many-a-days by/in the pool Edited March 23, 2007 by dak244

If so, I'd be all over one. Got a cruise this summer, and many-a-days by/in the pool Not quite. It's Guaranteed To 1000M which is 3300ft, and that means you can Scuba with it. RBJ pressure-tested his two and they came out very well.
Mickey Padge Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Precious Time is in the UK (I can't wait for next-day delivery of watches when I move to Scotland!) and Epoch is in the US. Well I knew about precious time, as I got my Steelfish watch from him I was just unsure if there was another Euro dealer I was not aware of You are right about the next day delivery. It was a welcome change to buy a watch and have it my hand the next day
Stephane Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 not important .edited not important either. But: Precious time is a pleasure to deal with
Pugwash Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 not important .edited Thanks for the bump. Now, should I take some more photos or is that enough?

Pugwash Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Posted March 24, 2007 Here are a couple of new pics ... Bob for Breitling black strap: And here's a scale shot: ... and finally, a wristshot in the black strap.
b16a2 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Glad to see some black strap pics, I was wondering whether to get a black rubber strap for my white dial when it arrives. I think I may well do that now!
HauteHippie Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 The black BOB looks sharp with that dial.
seank1 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 And there is rumour of another person selling these watches. Rumour has it that he is getting six in Monday. Same person sold one to Bignasty a week ago This watch I believe Rumor has it that two of those are mine to behold. Sean K
ryaku Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Beautiful pics Pug. Can you tell me your opinion comparing this watch to the Planet ocean? Which one looks bigger on the wrist? Ar is amazing and it's worth a little surcharge. No doubt.
dak244 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Not quite. It's Guaranteed To 1000M which is 3300ft, and that means you can Scuba with it. RBJ pressure-tested his two and they came out very well. Well damn. I dont wanna scuba in it, just swim or snorkel. I think it should be already...
Pugwash Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Posted March 24, 2007 Can you tell me your opinion comparing this watch to the Planet ocean? Which one looks bigger on the wrist? You tell me.
deltatahoe Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 wow pugwash i think that might be the best wrist-shot comparison i've ever seen. seriously -- very well done. from the looks of your shot, they wear VERY similar in size....
