Bignasty Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 Hello all! Just finished this beauty until I can find more gen parts! So far it has the following: Chieftang Double Sided AR Coating Genuine Bezel The Zigmeister Super Lume The Zigmeister Service Debeer Buffalo 24/20 Strap Newest Generation Rep Buckle Here's my want list: Gen Dial ETA Date Wheel Gen Bracelet But thus far I am very very please with the outcome. The bezel fits well. It keeps excellent time. The lume is superb. The strap is very comfortable! I had a genuine SA for a while and sold it like an idiot. I've been pursuing this watch as a rep for awhile. I aquired the watch from a member at the TRC, superlume and service already complete. Obtained the bezel over the past week. And had the crystal sent off as soon as the watch arrived. Now it will finally get some much needed wrist time! Comments and recommendations appreciated! Enjoy the pics! Cheers!
b16a2 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Looks incredible! Do you mind me asking where you sourced the bezel? Was it an easy replacement to make?
Bignasty Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Posted June 10, 2007 Looks incredible! Do you mind me asking where you sourced the bezel? Was it an easy replacement to make? Bezel came from Ebay. I paid $100+ for it, but didn't want to let it slip past. I saw one sell for much less a week later, but I don't care! Keep your eyes on the bay, you'll find one. People bling these out often so the gen bezels are thrown to the wayside pretty regularly. How about a gen Breilting 13 I'd like a Gen dial the most! But would consider the Calibre 13 for the right price or ETA 7750. Thanks for all the compliments guys!
HauteHippie Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Good stuff. The bezel looks great, and the AR is a huge improvement for the Breitlings!!
anton Posted July 6, 2007 Report Posted July 6, 2007 i see only two glaring faults: the "B" is smaller in your SA and: the datewheel always bugs me as I don't think I could ever buy a Breitling rep. Some people have mentioned to never wear it between the 2-9 days of every month, but that comes out to maybe 1/3 of a year! i would assume that a dial could be sourced easily from the Bay, since the majority of people who buy these bad boys get the "bling" treatment. If you're ever in NYC, head up to the diamond district as I know a guy who always has spare dials for various Breitling models. Before I purchased mine (I didn't buy from him; I bought from an AD), he had a Black and NHL white dial. They run about $150.
