Del 4,462 Posted July 18, 2011 I know, I know, another Breitling. I just couldn't help myself! Despite not liking this watch when I first saw the rep photoshopped pics, I eventually changed my mind when I saw some good quality photos of this model. Yes, at 42mm it is a bit smaller than I would have normally preferred but I thought I'd take the plunge with a blue version when I saw Robert was supplying them! And I'm glad I did! It is so much nicer in the flesh, so to speak. It has the Asian copy 2836 movement, sapphire crystal with light AR (and a slight blue tinge) and the new Dive Pro II rubber strap with polished Breitling tang buckle. The lume is also surprisingly good. The quality is excellent and the matt black bezel is a nice change to the polished ceramic bezels you see all over the place. I also think this is a good replica of the gen - there certainly isn't anything too obviously wrong as far as I can see. It only came in today so there's not much more to say at the moment other than to hopefully show you how nice it is with a few pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted July 19, 2011 Didn't like it at first- too cluttered. It is starting to grow on me though. Not at the stage yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digger2 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Very nice Del! I like this watch, have been thinking of the yellow one but I can't decide, maybe the 44mm is coming soon so I will wait for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickee_2dS 0 Posted July 19, 2011 As said above this watch doesn't seems a breitling, probably this is the reason because I like it so much. With the yellow finishing is wonderful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
