Hi guys, have you guys noticed the word " CERTIFIE " on these or maybe all the Breitlings are not spelled correctly? is it just me or this is just the way they are? I noticed the Omegas and Rolexes have the word Certified spelled right but on the Breitlings always a missing D at the end. Is this normal? can someone clarify? ta

IMO don't buy a the gen that you already have in rep, the WOW factor wouldn't be the same instead of buying a completely new watch.

 

(obiviously if you are saving hard earned money for ONE gen in the next years, but if you can spend several tousands dollars a year on watches the problems don't exists.)

 

 

go with the super avenger!

It's French, yes it's spelled correctly. Notice that it says "Chronometre Officiellement Certifie". Plus those are all pics of Gens, not Reps

Nice choices in the OP, I'm kind of partial to the blue dialed Berts...

I voted code yellow, because it's the coolest of what you pictured.

I had that exact piece on my wrist the other day.

 

it's boring.

 

I wanted to love it.

I tried on a dozen gens - B&R and Breitling.... nothing jumped out at me other than a Superocean 42 special edition with the Orange face.

 

The Super Avenger, I don't like the roman dial.

Black looks much better than white, unless you are pairing it with a brown croc strap.

 

and the seawolf doesn't do it for me.

 

good luck with whatever you choose.

pics or it didn't happen!

Of the three, I'd go with the code yellow. If it were up to me, I'd go with the Seawolf, yellow dial though.

They are all very good repped so I would go for a Breitling that hasn't been repped that good, eg the Navitimer.

Seawolf black is nice though!

Don't like any of them. Here are some of the gens in my collection that I like. My favorite is the Longines:

I disagree with buying a gen just because it isn't repped. I would buy the one I like the most. My vote is for the black seawolf.

 

I agree. Taste over origin.

Seawolf from the 3 you listed, but the SOH 46 is where my money would go.

I love Super Avengers but they are easy to Franken at a fraction of the cost of a gen. I know this isn't on your list but I would consider a Navitimer World, pictured is mine that I sold several years ago and still regret it. It really is a great looking watch.
