Review :

I wasnt a big fans of Breitling, but one day during our conversation fm told me he just finished making an SO. noobie enough i asked him, what is an SO? - that's to show you how uninterested i am to the brand :p

After looking at the pics he send me, i said why not, my first sub is from FM, so why not make my first Breitling from him as well.

Because i live in Indonesia, where post / packages from overseas lost / "lost" most of the time, i asked him to send it to my cousin who live in the US. the downside, i have to wait weeks after weeks for him to come back home.

The watch finally arrive before Christmas, and since then, i cant stop wearing this watch.

The build quality is superb, it's heavy and thick. i must say it's a big chunk of metal. I think it wears smaller than panerai because of the bezel size.

I'm not sure of the Crystal, but i assume it's Saphire with bluish AR. The AR change the color of the dial into a deeper blue.

FM installed a new second hand with Arrow point, i actually prefer this compare to the Square end.

The dial is crisp, you can see the singular grooves very clearly.
There are a few points that i found, but i'm not complaining because i know this is a replica dial. The position of the flying B logo is a bit to the left and the lume is not centered on the hour indicator. - i guess this is very common on Breitling and Oris reps.

Pearl is standart rep, but the marking on the bezel are really good. The b etched on the logo is also there. Bezel click is firm and solid.

Crown is nice and big, it's so easy when you want to unscrew or screw the crown.

Overall, i'm HAPPY and SATISFIED with this watch, all the little things that i've said before cant be picked up easily when the watch is on your wrist, i doubt it 90% of the population can tell that i's a rep or gen. As far as i'm concern, i really enjoy wearing this watch.

If you are still on the edge to get this watch, you shouldn't. Contact your trusted dealer - or FM (in my case) and order one, and you'll be a happy camper like me :)

I have the same watch from Fakey. I got mine just after Xmas and I've been wearing it ever since. It really is a nice piece. Like you say though it is a chunk of metal. It has some weight to it. I'm not sure these have any AR though. Mine sure doesn't look like it has any. It's my only gripe with the watch. Having a black dial and "I think" no AR, there is a good deal of reflection off the crystal. But for the cost this is a fabulous watch. It really makes me want to drop the cash on a high end one. It's my third FM and certainly not my last!

Nice watch :)
Please pardon my question, it could just be the angle of the pictures.
But: It seems like the Breitling logo looks a little bit "weird".

@R2 : i think they all come standart with 21J - fakey fav movement, hehehe

@tflgee : i have the same tought of buying the gen, 2nd hand value is very good, around 1200-1500usd.
mine got ar for sure, the ar is a bit bluish, that's why most of the time the dial looks like a dark blue. not sure compare to gen.

@mw : i use Canon 500D + 100mm f.28 macro lens (this lens is very good to take macro shot, now they have a newer version with IS, dont know which one better)

@not real : anytime bro, i live in jakarta as well, check your PM

@cp2k : not sure about the logo, breitling resident expert could probably chime in :D

I wasn't aware Fakey was doing other things than Rolex (and Tag from time to time). That's excellent !

I mean, is it recessed ? There are two variations on the SFSO.

+1. The FOSF (black dial in my case) has been on my wrist for three days straight. A new record. I am amazed. :notworthy:

A friend of mine got one of Fakey's 'Fish in white. It looks great. FM does some sweet work. If I get a SOSF from him, I think I'll have one of everything he does. :)
