HauteHippie Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Have we really been brainwashed enough to see it like this? I mean this watch may indeed be 1:1 (that waits to be seen) but to me that term will always mean that without opening the watch you will not be able to find any fault. Ken I have always taken 1:1 to mean case and case part dimensions, and nothing more... I assume they use the genuine artifact to take precise measurements, and use those measurements to program the CNC mill. As far as other visual details, I think one can still reasonably expect minor variances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's a strangely cool looking timepiece with which I doubt I could walk around in public and feel good about myself... If it was the right price I would buy it just to put in my collection. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisik Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Genuine can come also with black CG lever . Here you have some pics for comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ah... I'd send the rep lever to avitt for DLC to get that look if I were getting that rep! The black lever is the way to go IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 What is the size of this beauty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Looks awesome. Personally, I prefer the 43mm with the classic lever although, I have read an interview with Pierre-Andr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I like the look and the rubber band suits it well - any idea how large this watch is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeuss Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Whats the rep cost of this beast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I wonder if the "double AR" on this timepiece is the same "ar sticker" that comes on the Breitling for Bentley which many members were angry about since it just peels off... This is really a "bad ass" watch. Ever since Josh posted the pictures, I've been dying to look at the dimensions. This thing is going to be massive. I won't get one, because right now I am waiting until they release the reliable Daytona... patiently... and until that time it won't be anymore reps for me!

magagne Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 ..... why they rep watches that I dont like ????? Your turn will come...be patient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Interesting fact, is, did you know the lever was use by pilot that wore only mitten (due to the cold, in USSR). Pilot could only use thumbs to start and stop the chrono. it's a AD who told me this....it's an historic reason, not a "fashion" design button. There's a lot of flavor of this watch...check this out (gen): http://www.backintimeintl.com/gnew.cfm/bra...ronofighter_rac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeuss Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I see the going rate for the Chronofighter is $398 USD . Too much for me. I've dispatched a buddy in Hong Kong to find the same watch but for waaaaaaay less than $398. Just to add I sent him a huge list of watches to find for me in the watch district.

cleobis Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 well I loove this watch...and I would surely wear it in public....this is going to my list...not right now but something for the next couple of months...as long as a EU dealer can get one...as Portuguese customs (as I found out the hard way) are getting better.... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what he's telling me, I'll have to wait and see what he finds considering it's the New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
