Dude it is a super badass rep man. Extremely accurate. Rotor isn’t too loud and I’m running less than -3seconds a day...
just don’t make the same mistake I did... just make sure your td does a thorough qc check... and you’ll be good to go.,.

Yes you can, tighten the screws are you are done, I have had the same issue and is perfectly fine now after tightening the screws a tiny bit.

Looks like GF updated the bezel pearl, definitely not same as before, looks like has more glass look effect now and the tiny bezel around the pearl is closer to the gen. I am not sure about the bezel engravings though, I find it difficult judge them.

The dial is completely new too, looks like it has more updates than the pearl.

So I recieved my qc pics but my pearl is totally different. I hope that they haven't changed them up. All the ones I have seen recently have the correct fish eye effect. Look at this one it is totally different.

What differences do you see on the dial?

The edges of the Arabic numbers looked like more rounded, maybe I’m wrong I don’t know, breitling font is still further away than the date window, which looks better propositioned on the rep than the gen to be honest :)

Yes. But buy a decent set of screwdrivers. A cheap set will cost you a lot when it slips or goes into the palm of your hand. If you google your question you can find a video on utube.
