rodwc Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Could anyone possibly make an informed comment as to whether this Breitling ss. clasp is gen or rep. I got it along with my gen bce a few years back, and it came with no packaging. Maybe someone out there has something to compare it to. Many thanks.

hyster Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm not sure but if it is a rep, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Most deploymants I have seen are etched and look fairly poor. My guess, and its only a guess, is its genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I am no authority.. Except I would bet it's definitely a Gen... -MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0r Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Usually there will be an imprint of the stamping of the logo on fakes (especially bad fakes). .. I can say this looks very good however I am sure there are very good fakes as well. So without touching it - I don't know - but Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notguilty Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 if you got it 'a few years ago' then its a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 My Rep YG one is stamped clearly, like that, but in French... and it curves rather than "angles" like that...It came on an evo....earlier model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Either way looks very good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialvat Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 It looks the same as the clasp for my gen evo, but yours seems to be deeper engraved than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerthat Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Looks Gen to me! May be some interested members if you are looking to sell, including myself. The best check on Breitling buckles or deployants is to look at the underside of the stamped wing logo. Takes a little work to access this on the deployant. If the metal on the backside shows a stamping depression on the other side it is a rep. If you can't tell that the front was stamped by looking at the back, it is gen. I have a gen and a rep buckle,and that is the most obvious way to tell the difference. Cheers, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
