lazarini Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hello all. I posted today a little whats in my package game when i have received the watch, looks like people enjoyed that anyway if u did not see the initial post u can do so here: KLIK We all know the watch right. That said i also owned the REP and liked it u can see it pictured in my collection thread link that can be found in my signature. The REP is truly magnificent piece still this is just finished of on a much higher level... I'm not gonna loose time on packaging but ill say bravo to Breitling on including a travel pouch for the watch inside the storage box... when i travel i usually take 2 watches now one can be safely stored in the case one on wrist... The detail of the dial is just crispier on this one personally i picked up the Silver dialed fish as i find it the most interesting and versatile. On leather it dresses up nice, on Rubber gives u that sporty look on bracelet again a different watch all together. The AR makes the dial pop, the numbers are polished and give a nice effect at different angels. Lume is good on par with my Gen Sub but again does not compare to my UN that has an unbelievable luminosity. On wrist this watch is searching for attention and gets it, its a stunning watch in person i have received quite a few compliments today from my co-workers that checked it out. Lets see some pics now as always if u have any questions feel free to ask. Bakelite box top: Open up and see the storage/travel case... very useful: Storage case opened here it is mmmm: Closeup from the side: Top Shot: Lets see it on the wrist then: I mentioned the polished numbers make different effect in certain angle... this is what i mean: Lume... note picture taken in quite light up room it does shine stronger in darker environment: There u go folks, hope u enjoyed this as much as i did taking the pics and writing this lines Kind Regards Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go for it right away after yout threads ...but I know I wouldn't wear it (again). Or?

Roma Leo Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 A beautiful piece and very nice look. So when will you be selling it so I can make buy it from you. Remember I asked first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogma Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Nice looking watch Laz, but this Gen appears to have the some misalignment flaws. I'm talking about the misalignment of the 12,3,6,9 tick marks with the lumed square/triangle and the non-equal spacing of the printed ring relative to the rehaut. This infuriates me on my rep, but on a gen I'd go bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Very nice. Does anyone know the model history on the seconds hand. Arrow -vs- Box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The watch looks amazing and the silver dial gives it a fantastic look. That's really the best Dial option in my opinion and I like it really. On leather it looks fantastic. Congrats my friend to your new Gen one.

lazarini Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Nice looking watch Laz, but this Gen appears to have the some misalignment flaws.

This infuriates me on my rep, but on a gen I'd go bonkers. Does appear like that on the strait top shot... the ting is I actually taken that photo from an slight angle at high rez then cropped it afterwords... the final picture puts watch in the middle but angle was more bottom right on original shot. Nevertheless i just checked the lume markers versus the ring versus the tabs and all seams fine and in place too me. Nevertheless thx for noticing and make me check Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when will you be selling it so I can make buy it from you. Remember I asked first. Ill keep that in mind... Very nice. Does anyone know the model history on the seconds hand. Arrow -vs- Box? I think (can be wrong) the 2006 model had the box maybe the 2007 also but 2008 is arrow... The watch looks amazing and the silver dial gives it a fantastic look. That's really the best Dial option in my opinion and I like it really. On leather it looks fantastic. Congrats my friend to your new Gen one. Thank u D. I agree on the dial ists my favorite also, not that the other ones are bad this one just has something more... LAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR strap is a good idea all do genuine cost as much as the bracelet in that case kinda hard not to take the bracelet instead right? The damage was the Bond that i basically swapped for this piece ... i saw these go around 1.5k euro second hand complete and great condition (mint). There are better deals to be had also but u need to keep ure eyes open ... Yea actually that bracelet did not look that bad but the quality and the el cheapo clasp is just a no go on his kinda watch.

b16a2 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Great shots Laz! I think you'll enjoy this one as you have some really elegant pieces in your colllection, and this Breitling is a bit if a bruiser, so it sits in the collection very nicely. It looks so nice on that dark leather strap! I used to own a rep on the rubber strap, it makes great daily wearing in the summer months.
