Lexani18zz Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Hello all, im new to the forum and the replica hobby in general. I fell in love with the breitling after a close friend of mine just bought the navi but ending up selling it for a cartier santos. Well after lurking on the forum for about a week, reading and reading and comparing watches, i found the one i wanted. I got found a pic of a rep from another hobby forum and the gen from a buddy of mine. I wanted to see what the major flaw was so i figured i might as well post here incase anybody else wanted to see. I'll Most likely send the Crystal out for double A/R Coating, and purchase a Gen stap and i think ill have a great everyday watch. If you guys want to point out any other flaws go right ahead since im new i dont know everything. GEN: REP: Few Questions: 1. I dont know what the correct term is, but does the top part of the watch turn and make clicking noises? 2. in the pic, that blue glare is their because of AR coating? 3. Also is it possible to replace the REP dial with a GEN dial? Edited February 21, 2009 by Lexani18zz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 a great rep but since you asked for it Flaws AR or lack their of quality ar Date font color too red on rep Lume or lack their of Outer Rehault too deep Outer bezel functions exact as gen but inner bezel does not I belive the area around the date is not cut as well and the date is a little too sunken Just a few off top of my head I don't own this rep Your questions 1 bezel does not click have you ever held the gen? Cause it does not click either it moves silently in both directions 2 gen ar is only blue at certain angles but yes that is ar that you see 3 gen dial won't fit Cheiftangs ar is as good as breitlings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustybrand Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 As on the Blackbird rep, the date window in all is wider and has a thicker bar separating the 2 numerals. For this reason among several other possible reasons, I believe a gen dial would not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 The rep in that pic was mine and it had the AR redone and a gen strap added. A nice watch,i might be picking up the gen on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
