b16a2 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Looks brilliant! I tried one if these on the other day, I thought my old 127 was big, but this wears like a grandfather clock on a strap! Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwhitesox Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks guys, Maybe one day I can get the gen hands to finish this off properly as the rep ones are a little too short. I can get them but for the money it is not worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get them but for the money it is not worth it That is one beautiful SA. How about some shots of the caseback? It surely is getting there... Just one question, how is K222's AR coating?

ubiquitous Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Admittedly, I'm not a Breitling guy, but damn that looks GREAT! Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 the best SA i have seen yet. you even have the updated large wings logo!! what an amazing job....congrats!! quick question...i used to have a SA and the crystal was pretty bad. it had the bottle effect when you looked at it at angles....did the AR help this at all or does it still look weird when you look at it from a sharp angle?

Watchmeister Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Congrats. Obviously a good amount of effort went into and it was worth it. Wear it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 "Bottle effect" happens when the crystal is flat on the bottom but domed at the top. I have a gen SA and viewing the watch from the sides does NOT give a gistorted view of the rest of the dial. Perhaps because it is concave in the inside.

Rxus Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 What beauty, one day I plan to either splurge on a gen or if patience patience permits, I'll build one like this..again terrific piece of work you have there good sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 @Italiano, Yes this one does have a slight bottle effect but with K2222's great AR coating it almost gets rid of it. Thanks everyone for all of the great comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
