rodwc Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Even with 1 st. and 2nd, version reps that we know about , when they get this close it becomes scary. So , we have 1st and 2nd version dials, but the so subtle differences would fool many. The extra sharpness of the engraving, the space between the anchor tangs and the , "B" the boldness of the date font, the gold color in the sub-dial difference. I would plumb for the bling, bling diamond bezel being Gen. Of course I could be very, very wrong, and would not be at all surprised if they were BOTH reps. Good to see them side by side.

nasosn Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Those BCEs are really driving people crazy...!I can't also wait to get mine from PT....Hurry up PT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookycord Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Looks great. i'd go with #1 rep from date font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The one on the left is missing the tick next to "10", the pearl is slightly off to the right and the gold seems a little red. Knowing Homer, the other one could also be a rep, just a much better one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicale Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'd say #1, but from the alignment of the numbers / pearl in the bezel. They are far enough off-center to bug someone who knows nothing about what a BCE should look like. Then after that datefont etc... it does look very close though.

kosemkamtsan Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 both reps. the 15, 30, and 45 in the bezel are not filling out their spaces enough. other than that, really nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the "bling" is gen. The bezel has to be modified to accommodate the diamonds. Wait till jfreeman420 and Dave123 see it. They love the iced out stuff.

AY CEE Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm gonna say #1 is the rep simply because the band looks bad. It seems that there is far too much cushion in the band. It pops up a bit much for a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah, I'd go with #1, as the pearl is off centre, and so is the 30 on the bezel marker. Took some looking at though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I already posted my responce to this one at RWG1 this morning...only one that did i think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm gonna say that the "bling" model is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I had said this morning that the bling model is real and the other is fake... Both seem to have the 'tachymetre' word extend past the 1 o'clock marker though,so now i'm not sure.... Its either the bling is gen or they are both reps and the bling has a DW mod..... tough one,Homer,well done.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 The one on the left, look at the pearl and the hight of the riders to the crystal, but only a real sad spotter would notice ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 all is you gotta do is look at the date-font. if it wasnt for that, and, of course the fit and finish, the BCE would be a perfect (almost) rep. thanks for sharing the comparison.

Dave123 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 The one on the left is obvious.....thats not the question... The question is if the bling one is gen or rep....the DW looks gen,but could be a lello.... I still think its a gen,the the tachymetre word is throwing me off now,the last 'e' is always in line with the end of the 1 o'clock marker.....wondering if Homer might be tossing out 2 reps for a teaser..... I will still say gen....Breitling F'ed up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest porsche356a Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Alright, I have been studying this all day, and heres my assessment: Both are reps. V2/Ultimate if im not mistaken, but the bling is a franken: 1. Bling has a Gen Dial, ""TACHYMETRE" length is correct, the date window is what is a dead giveaway. the bevel around the date window on the rep is pronounced whereas the gen is much sharper and closer to the outline. 2. Case is a bit thin on the Lugs. That is the only thing that bothers me on the V2, the v1 actually had the correct heft in terms of the case size, unfortunately a gen bezel wont fit and the screw down pushers are too long. Whereas a Gen bezel will fit a v2. 3. Bling has a Gen bezel. 4. Bling has Gen hands. Here's what the lug width should be (has the new datejust lug effect) but, what do I know... Perhaps Homer can let the cat out of the bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hands are pretty Identical - further proof that they're both reps. 4. Bling has a Gen bezel. Here's what the lug width should be Interesting observations P356. One of the first things I was comparing between the two was the DW's and date windows followed by the outer edge of the dials but a gen dial swap would explain those things being correct. Kinda scare how close some of these can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
