Dave123 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 waiting for a rep rubber strap?.... can't be.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ditto!!! Waiting for the version coming out next month.....from what I've been told by one of our trusted dealer, it's more accurate! How accurate????? We'll have to wait and see, but I'm on line to get the first batch he gets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero1 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm waiting too. The current version looks pretty great, and the fit and finish is obviously top notch, but there is one flaw that would drive me crazy - the bezel edge is not quite curved enough, it's a bit too straight up and down on the rep, and it should be more curved as per the gen. This slight curvature to the outer part of the bezel edge is what softens the gen a bit and give is that more 'homage' look, and mirrors the curved onion shape of the crown.

Newdoc Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 any word on whether the dial will be more accurate. That's my big issue. And about the rubber strap: can't you just get a gen for like 100$? I'd rather have the gen rubber than the cheap dust magnet rep ones. Am I wrong?

Jules.JJL Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 any word on when the chrono version is due out? This looks fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The rubber strap that comes on the Heritage is deployment, if I recall correctly I saw one going for about 275USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asad Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Nice I stopped by at my very loyal Breitling dealer who had a couple of them. I took off my Panerai and threw it on and it felt exactly the same as a 44mm PAM. It's nice! I am also waiting for a better rep version to come out. I hope they don't mess up the second like they did on the Chopard GTXL with many different variations. Edited April 10, 2008 by asad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newdoc Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The rubber strap that comes on the Heritage is deployment, if I recall correctly I saw one going for about 275USD That makes sense. I was in an AD a few months ago, and I bet now he was referring to just the rubber strap itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I am not convinced any second version will be better, likely will be a different factory and have different flaws. I am wearing this watch right now and there aren't really any flaws, the dial is perfect. Lume color maybe off but the actual lume is good, date font not great, date window cutout a little rough, rep strap sucks ; these are all very minor on an otherwise great rep. Certain days the font looks bad others it looks great. The bezel feel is top notch, everything lines up andis very shiny, the AR is nice not great but good double AR on sapphire, with the swiss movement and a gen strap there are hardly any flaws. This is not that complicated a watch as the gen isn't that expensive and the first version rep is as close as reps typically get so I wouldn't hold my breath counting on the 2nd version to be better.

jeff g Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) I agree 100%. I too am wearing this watch as I write. The imperfections in this rep are minimal. In the few months that I have owned it, the Heritage has become my favorite watch. It is a stunning piece. I personally like the looks of the black dial and case more than any of my Pam's. The 46mm case fits my wrist better than any other big watch I own. I am wearing the watch with a black alligator strap and it perfect... but with the rubber bracelet, the elegance of the case blends with the strap, and clasp...and the watch becomes...how you say, aquatic. Change to the mesh band, and it transforms the watch to the beautiful classic that it is. I could not wait to buy this watch. If however, 'They', actually really improve this rep somehow, why I believe I might actually have to buy ANOTHER one.

PAMman Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm wearing my blue one on a navy canvas Taikonaut strap, which is a proper 24 / 24mm Panerai style strap on a polished preV style buckle. This really sets the blue watch off perfectly and it's so comfortable to wear. IMO this is one of the best reps ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well, as I have only had mine for 9 hours... It will most likely live on my wrist for the next several days. It is without a doubt the most comfortable watch I have worn in recent memory. The curved lugs fit my wrist perfectly and the case size is awsome. I will be going to my Breitling AD tomorrow to pick up a gen strap for it. I would see no reason to wait for anything and I thank my lucky stars that I jumped on this when I did!

Anyone who buys this watch and is dissapointed , is truly, very very hard to please. I`m just waiting to mod mine and am gathering all information.

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Here are my wrist shots. Although I dont find much fault with the replica strap, I was given a brand new BOB strap... But previously an esteemed member of the board gifted me with a Toscana and THAT is my strap of choice for this watch. Enjoy the pics and give opinions on strap choice.

rodwc Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 The darker brown Toscana, if you really , really twisted my arm. For me, nothing beats the 3.2mm mesh . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
