Rolexman Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I knew it (click) Looks OK at first sight. Lume on 6, 9 & 12 sucks (probably from the same dial maker as the SOSF). Will study this thing first thing tomorrow morning. I need some sleep now http://www.jpc8118.com/0322c-p-5603.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta8088 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hmm I'll have to keep an eye on this one. Tried on the gen not long ago and I actually really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurleyC Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 LOL, Nice call though where is the one with bracelet? Also some thing besides the dot seems to be off. It maybe the date window.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 A Breitling too far...... I already have a few really nice Breitling reps, I simply don't need any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do let us know what your thoughts are on this. Oh no, I noticed too that this one is "WR" to 1000m again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoKing Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 tough to tell if they got the new datefont right- although it looks good, it may be a hair too skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I see Josh just uploaded the price..... ridiculous. Overal I think this is a good rep (apart from the lume) but I think I'll wait untill the bracelet and 'Lite' version comes out. An ETA is just not worth the extra $$ any more these days.

lanikai Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I had to order the yeller one... my collection is without any school bus looking dials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Look kinda like the lume dots are off centered. Just like the last batch of Skylands. Other than that, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 You freaking millionair, you! Just saw the bracelet is already out. Sweet..... NOT !!!! I jus don't have many "other" vices....no bar tabs... not many frills .. so this is it .. for now.. until I meet my next "future ex" .. but everytiime I meet someone.. "red flags" go up faster.. Meaningful overnighters or after luncers is all I can handle at the moment.. which leaves room for other expenses.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjalg Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 To me it kind of looks like the numbers are too thin, but that is comparing to my gen skyland. Weird that there is no SS bracelet available as the rep skyland bracelet should fit well! Lanikai: Yellow looks very nice! The rubber strap even seems to have the raised winged logo on it - like the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 It is the newer released "Avenger" Seawolf ... it has the Avenger based case set with the Water Resistance of ... whateva it say's on the dial Now the official Web site list the versions as SS .. what may or may not be scam sites lists it as TI .. with just drawings and no real live images.. If you are familiar with Breitlings web site you will know it is challenging to download pics and they have scaled back the measurements (specs) .. for obvious reasons.. So your seeing a Breitling "Hybrid" with the stenciled numerals mixed with Seawolf markings .. that was made with genuine as sample.. I like it..

lanikai Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yellow dial!!! Must have! yes Zirrr... the yellow looks like the past and the present combined.. they used this colour from the genuine for the rep.. which makes sense .. it would be the most challenging without a genuine sample.. since they already repped the other colours from the skyland etc. plus I have alway's been partial to "School Bus" yellow..

Toadtorrent Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah just saw that. Anything about this that makes it worth $110 more than a V2 Skyland? Crazy money!! Swiss ETA motors are asking for premium prices with the collectors these days. I think the Ulysse Nardin is a much better deal considering what they had to do for that rep to make it. I'll definitely stick to my Skyland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was indeed a 100% genuine Swiss engine it would be no problem. But it can be anything form a full copy, hybrid or a used movement....

andreww Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 ETAs may be at a premium, but are these actually ETAs? Visually I cant tell the difference anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I see Josh just uploaded the price..... ridiculous. .......An ETA is just not worth the extra $$ any more these days. I don't think you're paying for the engine, you're paying for the 1000m rating. Josh probably expects to eat a few of these when people actually get them wet so he's built the cost of replacements into the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
