Like. Not to be a Debbie downer. But how do you know that we aren’t looking at pictures of two reps? Just saying, what’s stoping them from flipping the gen and rep tags?

The font is a little thicker much better looking on the gen dial, but other than that it looks excellent.

My thoughts as well. I'm becoming more and more sceptical of these so called 'Rep Gen comparisons' How do we know the Gen is actually a gen and not just another rep? This particular comparison is suspect IMO. The word 'Transoceaon' is identical on both versions. There is actually a fault in the kerning (spacing) and it's present on both versions. I may be proved wrong but I really cant see the makers replicating a 'fault' to that degree of accuracy

What are you talking about? I don't see the kerning error, where?

This is gen, looks the same to me.

And you can see a lot of differences between these watches.

Still a Super Rep tho if confirmed as good.

The space either side of the 'O' - ie TRANS O CEAN is Identical on both versions. I really cant see Breitling producing an error such as this, and even if they did it's unlikely the rep makers would pick up such a minute detail. Sorry I dont buy it, IMO the dials are the same and there is nothing clear to prove otherwise.

I know it has nothing to do with the dial but they do have different limited edition #'s on the case back

I don't know this business about the spacing on the trans o cean is crazy picky. On some of the pics I think I see it and on others I am not so sure. I guess it remains to be seen. If this thing is anywhere close to as good as the pics make it look then I am in for one.

I had a pic of the gen posted but it's gone... Spacing is the same on the gen, and those dials are definitely different (print quality, texture, etc.).

Nothing shady here. You're being paranoid. Heh.

Space is bigger on the rep and font is a little thicker on the gen. Definitely real, 0 doubt.
