A friend of mine received this Breitling for valentines day. Looks like a Colt GMT. I'm no Breitling expert, what do you guys think?

Is it a rep?

I would say rep
Gmt hand seems too long
Logo on dial looks like crap
Lume color really varies on the hour markings
Date font does not look right
Not sure how old the watch is though

The only thing that stands out is the pearl on his is slightly bigger than the gen reference shot. And the date wheel alignment is a little off. But really, those are not big tells. It looks pretty darn close to gen if you ask me.
GMT hand would just about touch the end of the hash markings on the GMT markers. No difference there I reckon.
Logo looks crap on gen as well
Lighting conditions and the picture can do that. The hands on the gen shot look a little greener than the dial markings.
Without seeing both on the same date it's inconclusive, but it looks ok. Even the gen date wheel alignment is a little high in the window.

Yeah could be just bad pictures of an old gen
Hand length does seem fine after 2nd look
Color of the lume dots looks wierd on the 6 and 7 compared to the 10 but could be wierd lighting, lume showung uneven aging, etc
The dots themselves and hands look good though so if the watch glows reasonably well and evenly than I would assume gen, an older rep would have poor lume
Too hard to tell with the photos as provided

I think it's a rep. My gen Breitling logo is raised on the dial. Almost looks like a separate piece added for 3d look. This one looks printed in to the dial as if it's all one piece.
I think the logo on this particular model is printed on, not raised like most Breitlings.
I guess we won't be able to tell for sure until I'm able to get better pics. If it is a rep it's pretty damn good!
I haven't been able to locate any gens with a yellow dial online though.

Look at the picture of the gen man, it's printed on both gen and the one in question.
Bonesey, your correct. Wow, I'm surprised Breitling would print the logo in like that. Rep or not, the Breitling brand is a stunner all day long. I'm just surprised that this model gen would have a printed logo. My gen Colt has one of the most beautiful dials I've ever seen and the logo pops right out of the crystal. Makes the Pam and Rolex look cheap in comparison.
I'm just surprised this beautiful yellow dial is printed. Thanks for the insight.

This is one watch that I don't really understand why you rep it, gen Colt's are not that expensive to begin with, and used are very reasonable.
