italiano17771 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 nope. very nice breitling, but i think it might resemble the bce/blackbird too much for them to rep. ...just a hunch.
rodwc Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 It is a nice watch, though as italiano 17771 said, very similar to the BCE and Windrider series. Crosswind. Windrider Chronomat GT.
owdeguy Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Actually it was way way back in the old days, but I only ever saw it in quartz, and I have no idea if they made an automatic version back then......
Rolexman Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) The Chronomat GT was repped with an Asian 7750.... way way back in the old days. It looked real good IMO. I owned it for a while, but I sold it after an incompetent watchmaker ruined the dial. I still may have some pics. Will post them ASAP (I'm not home right now). Edited April 13, 2008 by Rolexman
fotoman Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 crosswind was never super repped -although TTK had some and was going to offer them, but they never passed muster. crosswind was part of the chronomat family. The crosswind dial fits in the BCE case. It has been successfully done by a dude on TRC a year ago, in SS. the roman numeral crosswind dial is my favorite breitling dial. and was the watch i got into reps looking for!!! I happen to have a two tone crosswind (blue) dial sitting at the watchmaker, waiting for a TT BCE coming from PT. Very excited, hoping the gold matches - will unveil when i get it done - any day now - the watch left china a few days ago - its caught up in the ether at the moment this is the TRC one - Mine will look like this but 2 tone !!!
fotoman Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 This is my model, i'm "tributing" cause its not really a rep, has flaws - but close enough for me - in fact i think i like the bce case better. - and i'm not planning on having the UTC on the band - that was optional
Dave123 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Flav over at RG is looking for $7500 for an FG gen.....
LordRasta Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 Flav over at RG is looking for $7500 for an FG gen..... I saw that, he started at $13,500.
Rolexman Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) This is the 7750 Chronomat GT rep I owned. Only the old school members will recognize this one.... Edited April 13, 2008 by Rolexman
Pix Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Strange it was never repped, as the manual that comes with Breitling rep boxes is a Crosswind one.
UB7 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Wow that crosswind rep looks great! Here's my blackbird, it's going off to a new home tomorrow and I will be acquiring a brand new super ocean chrono, silver dial w/ blue subdials can't wait - will post pictures tomorrow of the new CSO here's a preview of the new CSO
chubbchubb Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I've never seen a quality automatic rep of the Crosswind....
Chicken Manny Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I own the gen, TT, blue face with roman numerals. It is a great looking watch and I get compliments all the time when I wear it. The dial is very complex so it will be interesting to see if they can produce a good rep. Based on the newest generation of reps they might be able to pull it off. They are going to need to put some very heavy double AR or there will be an easy tell.
erdeke Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 I think the Breitling Crosswind is one of the most beautifull watches ever made. I bought mine about 6 years ago and is still love it very much. Here are some pics of my beauty...
chrgod Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 I agree that the Crosswind is one of the most beautiful watches ever made by Breitling! Here is my Crosswind rep.. Please be gentle with me.. I bought this way back in 2002..
anton Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Let's not forget the long-discontinued Crosswind Special... One of the watches i haven't regretted trading for since.
fotoman Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 i never miss a beat to show off my franken beauty still waiting for the AR crystal to come back - but, man, this thing is sweet
