Watchtower Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) I'm not sure about case numbers, so does anybody know if the caseback is correct, or is it from the non-chrono version? Model ref on the chrono is A17320, the same as the non-chrono. Correct ref is A13320, indicating Breitling calibre 13 (ie ETA 7750). Another error is the gen doesn't have Luminova marker dots at 3 and 9. Edited May 15, 2008 by Watchtower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) I must agree with those folks who feel the non chrono is the nicer watch. It's simplicity and large case size make it a classic diver. Is it possible that a 7750 could fit in the non chrono case? Seems as though the the chrono case would have to be thicker to hold the 7750 movement. I too am waiting for the rubber strap to be repped. Hopefully when it is it will have the beautiful deployment clasp that the gen does. Edited May 15, 2008 by jeff g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 The rep/gen cost ratio is way better on the chrono. I like them both but will probably get the chrono--got the PO in non-chrono so might as well do this one in chrono since the black PO is pretty similar to the black SOH. I won't sweat the dials since I'd bet $100 gen dials are available pretty soon and even if the chrono dials cost $400, one would get you a 99.9% rep of a 4k watch for les than $800.

JWR Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 has anyone got one of these in the flesh yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I think the biggest "tell" on this one is the subdials. On the rep, the hash marks nearly touch the silver ring. On the gen the is a definate space between the hash marks and the outer ring. As mentioned before, the type is slightly off, but over all this appears to be pretty nice. I'm not sure about case numbers, so does anybody know if the caseback is correct, or is it from the non-chrono version? Gen Rep Another "tell" is the dot @3 and @9! The gen doesn't have them!

rodwc Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 @HikeUSA Good observation. The lume dots at 9 and 3 would have to be the most glaring and obvious tell. That to me is worse than the P and A spacing on the non-chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 PT has posted a Breitling Superocean Heritage chronograph for sale looks pretty good to me! Link here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=74121&hl= Pictures: Genuine black dial: Looks like you could get Lello's Breitling DW and you would be owning a damn accurate replica! Genuine rubber straps can be purchased quite cheap. This is an easy project watch to perfect, and seems to have a better dial than the non chrono version too! Great price too for a newly released watch, which is nice..... Any thoughts? Feel free to add more genuine pictures for comparison! Cheers Watch out...looks like it has the old POS low beat 7750 movement....Wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole if it does!!.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
