poopypants Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry524389 some updated pics of the V2 black steel skyland... these are just some OTHER things i have noticed since v1... POSITIVES: the bezel seems to be sharper looking then the gen... the case color seems to be pretty good... NEGATIVES: they painted the sub-dial hands all red as the gen is red and gold mounting points... the micro-pics also show the 3 o'clock dot being painted up into the date window as the gen shows it not even touching the date window... all red hands seems to be showing white around the edges... seems they need a second coat of red... however, this is NOT very noticeable when wearing it on your wrist... what do you guys see?!?!

TK471 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Really is a looker. Very tough. It will look amazing on a gen rubber strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpops Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I see.... My next watch. Ever since I laid eyes on the Gen, I've wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orionz Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 is it so that only half of the subdials of the rep are striped or i just can't see it correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 A damn good rep! You guys better believe it when the Breitling guy above me says so!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 is it so that only half of the subdials of the rep are striped or i just can't see it correct? All 3 of the watches shown have half of the subdials striped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Looks good, what I expected though as this is simply a refinished V2. The same problems from the original exist, plus a couple more. Still has the blobby misaligned lume and too large pearl crystal, and now it seems that the caseback is not colored as it should be (red & black limited edition numbers) and as mentioned before, wrongly colored collars on the subdial hands. But all in all its a very accurate, well made rep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton26 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Really is a looker. Very tough. It will look amazing on a gen rubber strap. my thoughts exactly tk471. in fact, i already ordered a genuine black rubber strap in anticipation of the v2. i can't wait!

poopypants Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 None of these issues is going to stop me from getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake48 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 It's one worth getting - that's for sure. Given that there are very few Gens in existence, I doubt it's a watch that anybody would ever be able to call you out on - especially given how minute the flaws are. I sure wish there was a black SS bracelet finished like the watch that would go with it - that would put it over the top for me... I wonder if I get the PVD bracelet off of my Kobold to match? Hmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 The more and more I look at it, the more I find myself buckling. I may just have to pick one up as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 A Breitling is what got me looking into reps. Although my first purchases were not so good reps (although still good looking ones) of PP, IWC and a HBB, it now seems that my first proper rep is destined to be a Breitling. Just awesome.
