Replacing the day/ date wheel is easy.... but finding the right colour, right size and right font is difficult. You could buy a gen day/ date wheel but I don't know if it will fit.

The rep is slightly brighter red...

Nope.. the Chronomatic has the crown on the left side, but it functions as a regular crown. In this case it's a HEV of some sort.

On the genuine it is not a HEV. There is a cog mechanism inside this which rotates the inner bezel when the outer bezel is turned :) (It shows it in the book I acquired from an AD :bleh:

Officially:

"...the variable tachometer is controlled by rotating the outer bezel, which drives a pinion and an arbor activating the inner bezel..."

Thanks for the great pictures an fantastic, useful review. I have now officially added this watch to my purchase list.

Great review indeed! I have GT black dial my self,like it very much and sending it AR coating in fututre. I have one guestion: How are the diameters taken? When i measure my gt from the bezel it is about 43mm, when pulled crown out and measure the case including the HEV=) its about 45mm! How is it in GEN??

Hi!

Thanks for the great review! I think I'll buy this model... Could you give me a link to Precious Time's website please? Thanks!

(On the left side, it's not a HEV, there are gears inside, so if you turn the outter bezel, the glass won't move, only the inner bezel.) ;)

Thanks for the review, I had considered it, but now I realise that it's just too big for my dainty wrists. I am back to ordering the full-bollock blingy TT Navitimer.

Dudes, if you want to buy one from Precious time try:

When this review came out, I purchased the watch right away. Thanks! It was my favorite, and I miss it.. (gave it away after it had too many miles!)

Excellent review. I think I may have already said this one time :)

FYI - I wore my rep of this watch with the maroon dial to a conference in Boston. I recd two compliments in the airport and one at a shopping mall and I am not even home yet. A really nice dress watch. Purchase and enjoy.

Quick question.

I have had this watch for 2 years now and love it!! But all the gen's I see have a black day/date and mine is red. Did Breitling change it?

Thanks
