Jonnybaws 5,280 Posted February 15, 2021 As far as rep straps go this is respectable. Still needs a change but will do for now! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might have to nab one when China reopens (assuming VSF come back); that looks great. Awesome summer watch. 2 minutes ago, Thommo82 said: Still here. Awesome.

If so, so should the lume. I think I prefer the VSF version to the Gen! VSF tend to just constantly do small improvements without the fanfare, and the wait, of new version numbers. Dealers start tagging version numbers on the really high selling ones like NTTD but VSF themselves just tend to plod along constantly improving their watches bit by bit. Just one of the reasons I’m an official fanboy. I should print myself a hat and a card to carry in the wallet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're SS and not painted white like the rep (and original gen image releases). I prefer the SS hands, lume is the same colour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted February 15, 2021 Just popped into the Breitling boutique (in my Parnis :D) I've been thinking of getting a gen Nav 01 43 Chrono, blue on blue with the in house 70hr, but damn if the gen bracelets aren't every bit as shiny and cheap looking and feeling as the Gate reps! I told the salesgirl I would need to get it brushed if I bought it and she said they don't recommend it bc they're fragile and prone to break when worked on like that lol. So I guess it's leather or just be happy with a rep. But that's one I'd really like the gen of. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sign me up, VSF really are top quality, in the rep world, I could restart the AP binge if the move into making ROOs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
