dluddy Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I know TTK has a beautiful genuine How about throwing this one out to the maker of the SFSO and HBB ye collectors with influence? Pictures borrowed from TZ.
eunomians Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 That is my all-time favorite watch. I dream of going to my AD, and walking out with it on my wrist.
robertk Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Funny.....I almost bought one a few weeks ago. Decided to wait. Will there be a rep in our future?
BigNickD Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 I saw a Rose Gold Gen at Tourneau a few weeks ago. Simply stunning! When is the Rep going to be available? Please lets put a nice ETA movement in it!!!
anton Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 The only movement I see possible in this is the 2894. Maybe they could use that modified A7750 seconds @ 3 movement, but the subdial spacing would be off.
ubiquitous Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 Would love to see a good vintage Type 20!!
dluddy Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 WOW, out of nowhere Angus just posted a pretty decent replica - my prayers were answered? What say you? Sale Post
scoobs1971 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 WOW, out of nowhere Angus just posted a pretty decent replica - my prayers were answered? What say you? Sale Post Although a very nice rep, it looks like the subdials are spaced too wide ....
dluddy Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 Agreed but that is the same old movement issue
Corgi Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 This watch clearly belongs on a leather strap. I've never seen one on a strap before, and let me tell you, it makes a huge difference. That is an absolutely gorgeous watch. The Patek Philippe Ref. 5970 R still is much, much nicer looking, in my opinion. But that one is in a whole other league in terms of price!!
Victoria Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 WOW, out of nowhere Angus just posted a pretty decent replica - my prayers were answered? What say you? Sale Post That's incredible! I only just linked to this post in another Breguet thread yesterday to Ericw: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?s=&...st&p=370725 Suddenly Angus posts the exact same watch today? Well, to answer your question Dluddy -- the black one looks phenomenal but do you want the 7750 movement for US$328 not including shipping? @X: Quite so. It really is all up to each person, about how much they want this rep watch.
xelorrolex Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 @ victoria ... true, but have u another cheaper source yet ? Xel
luisik Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 Just wait a little, and you will get it for much less than $350... remember Big Bangs ? Superoceans ? B&R ? Ultimate PO ?
eunomians Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 Oh my ohh my, despite the subdial flaws, white hands belong to non-date Areonavale, circle pattern around the chapter ring + above "Breguet" and lack of serif action on the numbers, ..., I have to admit that I'm in love! Wow! I can't wait :thumbsup:
Sir Jon Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 Actually this watch was the reason why I joined the rwg; I was looking if this beauty was available at a bit lower coast somewhere... Just 3 days ago I bought the HBB and a J12 for my girlfriend -so it has to wait a bit. My new project and subject of admire. But it will go only cheaper :-) So I will not be worried!
dluddy Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 Well, to answer your question Dluddy -- the black one looks phenomenal but do you want the 7750 movement for US$328 not including shipping? It would join a collection of 7750's Vic. I have Ziggy service the keepers and they run forever. My 188 is over 3 years old
ericw Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 sooo.... Im new to the rep side of things but have been around the block a few times on the gen side. How hard is it for the rep makers to get the font of the numbers correct? Im no expert, not even an intermediate, but I would think that would be far easier than any of the other features. Is it done intentionally?
archibald Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 maybe Maybe, some of the time... I might hang back on this one though, to see if they fix the dial and hands which they do on 2nd versions....some of the time. What they will not fix on this one is the terrible CNC work on the side of the case. I've had $60 day date chronos w/ better cases than this one.
Guest TTK Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Here's my genuine for comparison......I have to say that if they brought a good rep...esp in RG ...I would consider moving my gen on and replacing with something they haven't repped yet.....RG with white dial......on a strap.....the bracelet is possibly the best bracelet I've seen on a watch...but oh so sexy on a strap.....RG / Tobacco leather / DFD...perfect combo.....
By-Tor Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Wonderful watch & pics Neil! This sure is a great watch! To me Breguet is the king of watches, and the brand has even more mythical "aura" than Patek. PS: For some reason I always thought Neils watch was Transatlantic chronograph. Dunno why...
