athan Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi to all, I'm new to Breitling reps so please help me out if you know. I'm considering buying a Superocean Heritage watch, the so called "1:1" or "Ultimate". It seems that through the cartel only the Asian version is available, while King is selling a Swiss one. Has anyone have any experience with King's Swiss 1:1? Is it a real Swiss? Does it have the correct date wheel? Does it come with an individual serial number as the ones the cartel advertise? Thanks for your assistance. Al the best, Athan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yes, it is available with 2 movts. Either Asian 2824-2 or ETA (swiss) 2836-2. The outter look is the same (even the sweep) of the two. I'd recommend you to go for asian 2824-2, and change it for a swiss 2824-2, since the gen has ETA 2824 too, not 2836. As a next step you should relume the dial and hands (dots aren't misaligned, but the lume is poor...) and send it for chief AR, and then you wouldn't be able to tell the difference Very good rep!

athan Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'd recommend you to go for asian 2824-2, and change it for a swiss 2824-2, Thanks yodap, How do I change it for a swiss 2824-2? You mean that I get one on the bay and swap it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yes, but I'd buy it from here: http://www.ofrei.com/page_183.html 159 bucks with incablock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borz Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Does that one come with oceanracer strap? Link por favor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athan Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Does that one come with oceanracer strap? Link por favor? She told me that it also comes with a rubber strap for $250 swiss movt, shipped. I'm not sure though if she's talking about the oceanracer.

athan Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 She told me that it also comes with a rubber strap for $250 swiss movt, shipped. $220 for the Asian The difference is not that much. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 $220 for the Asian The difference is not that much. What do you think? Swiss will not come with correct date font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Really? AFAIK there is a swiss version with correct datefont, but yes, this one for 250 might be the old one... Well if you buy the swiss (2836) you won't be able to switch to 2824 as per gen... but if it doesn't bother you, go for it! Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
