italiano17771 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 first impression...its very nicely done. the slide rule lines up perfectly, the bezel is nice and tight, the AR is great, and the bracelet surprisingly is pretty good...will be much better with a lil WD-40. im sure its nothing compared to the gen bracelet, but its much thicker than the SA bracelet. also, the bracelet comes with PLENTY of links...i could put the watch on without opening the clasp. i had to take 4 links out and i have a 7-1/4 inch wrist. the datefont is almost perfect and the sunken DW doesnt bother me all that much. i knew it would be sunken since it should be using the 7753 mvmt. the color of the dial is a cream..not pure white. a few unedited pics...

yaron Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Very nice pics of a great watch. Looks like very good quality. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Very nice, the datewheel isn't all that obvious with the dial being as complicated as it is! Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Looks great Italiano. The gold color hands aren't an issue when looking at the watch as a whole, nor is the sunken date wheel. I'm sure when wearing it in public, it's going to be an attention getter. I'm getting excited about my bronze dial arriving soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CY0811 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Nice pics and watch...is the bracelet 24mm at the widest point? How would this watch compare to wearing a Bentley Motors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I think the datewindow is a big giveaway on this one. Note only is the datewheel sunken (expected as Italiano pointed out) but its quite a bit smaller than the gen. I was checking out the gen on Friday and the date stands out because it is big and easily readable. This was to be expected, if you have seen what the front of the modified 7750 looks like you'd know why. Aside from that unavoidable issue I really think they've done a great job with this one. I do believe that the dial should be a "true" white though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I feel that the lume blob misalignment with the Skylands and Super Avengers are more of a "tell" to the non-WIS than the sunken date wheel, small date window, and yellow gold hands on the Legende. If the dial print is good and everything else looks in order, it won't be a dead giveaway like an off center lume dot or dots. Again, I mean to those not intimately familiar with the gen.

Dave123 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I still say that it looks like a baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Not bad at all, not sure about "basebal looking" comments from dave, you lost me there for a moment mate :-) The sunken date is a must on these modified A7750 to mimic 7753 mov't, not an easy to fix unless you go with gen ETA7753. Wear it well! babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joint05 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 how much you pay? maybe i will order than breitling too. is the bracket ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Very nice replication. Frankly, no one looks at the date wheel anyway (except us). As for lume....unless it's night no one will notice that either and even if they do they won't think twice. I have a lot of gens (including Breitlings) and after a few years the lume is reduced greatly. Congrats and wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I read somewhere that the gen is 26 mm at the lugs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
