To me it looks pretty good. Date font is off though.

As a gen owner I have to say it is REALLY close!
Very minor flaws which are barely noticeable. But you have to take them side by side.

1) Datefont
2) Bezel engravings slightly shallower on rep
3) Caseback looks a little bit different. Is it made of titanium as it is on gen?
4) Breitling wings on dial a bit less detailed and refined
5) 3 hour marker too short on rep

And I'm still missing a decent pro-III SS bracelet!

I took the watch apart because there was a very little piece of lint on the dial. The caseback is extremely lightweight and the color shimmers like titanium although it is high gloss polished.
So I'm very sure it is titanium. I've been working several years with titanium in the past. I think I will notice this very special metal everytime again I'm handling it.

And there's another thing to mention: I don't know the rep bezel construction but the gen one is very well done: The bidirectional bezel has got 24 solid clicks. It seats on ceramic balls. Very smooth action.

As you said, these are minor flaws. This rep looks like a super rep to me.

I think it is a super rep, too. Like the Avenger Blackbird, Superocean II, H-fac Seawolf...
Maybe one day I will try the white dial GMT.

I need one. I sold my gen blue gmt as I would like to get a black one. Now I think I'll be happy with a rep. I just need to match it with a gen strap and that would be a nice rep combo.

No, it's the SS with nylon strap. I had the dark one also, both great watches
