knmwt15000 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) I want to share some pics of a gen, but they will come later...so tell me first which one is the gen? The Montbrilliant Olympus is gen...? Reflectivity of glass is a give away. It's certainly not the Navitimer.

Rolexman Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 So that's how my Navi turned out? Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarin.72 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Well Bobby...if i had to guess i would say the Navitimer...!!! Great work my friend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 The Montbrilliant Olympus is gen...? Reflectivity of glass is a give away. It's certainly not the Navitimer. +1. Also, the slide rule lines up all the way around and I don't think I have seen a rep of that one before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 All three are beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 All three are very nice. I have never seen that particular Montbrilliant so it gets my vote for the Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I would say the Olympus aswell, although the Blackbird is a very good rep; it has none of the flaws typical of BB reps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks guys! Of course the Olympus is gen. And I must say, the AR is amazing on this one - it seems to be light coated, but the crystal is absolutely not visible! It's unbelievable! I've seen some gen Blackbirds and Evo's, and the AR is on these very blueish...like the reps are! Or maybe there is a different effect of the AR on white dials... The pics I've promised will be posted tomorrow...thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 +1. Also, the slide rule lines up all the way around and I don't think I have seen a rep of that one before... You have good eyes my friend, but I can tell you that even on the gen they don't line to 100% up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 that Olympus is grrrrrreat... Omega - you need to add these pix to the "true confessions" bretiling thread... R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 well the Blackbird is a rep the 9 o'clock sub-dial is missing a tick near the 20 and the 10 markers but fabulous pics nonetheless i have a GMT Navi on the way as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuan Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 The Navi's datewheel is not recessed is it? or at least it's not as recessed as i thought. Did you mod anything on the Navi? It looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great! Yes it is,the DW and datefont are nothing like the genuine. I can also see my reflection in the crystal,even in just a pic... The AR on the Blackbird is so blue its hard to tell the time... Great watches regardless and alot of fun,most people outside of these forums have no idea,who cares...

Thanks Dave, guess i have to take a look at the genuine navi. I agree with the too blue AR on the blackbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
