The Panda white one to the far right in the first picture

Date window size is a dead giveaway. I own a gen and a rep, and in the rep, the date window is much smaller, and date is displayed with a different font. It looks like the same dial in the second picture to the far left, but I could be wrong. Also, there's something weird going on with that subdial in the middle that I think gives it away as a rep. All very nice dials though!

Wrong I'm afraid! Take a closer look, the clue is in the paint finish! :)

Breitling Dials

Black numbers. The fonts have serifs and they shouldn't have. Also the date window is wrong.

hehe

yep, its the black dial, bottom left :)

the physical size of the rep dial is about 1.5mm smaller diameter.

The paint finish is matte, where all the gen Navi dials are satin finished.

Not so obvious in the pic is that the sub dials are more reflective than the gens, but hey, thats my poor photography! :roll:

I spent a lot of time in an AD last weekend with my wife trying on Breitlings and paying a lot of attention to the detail. The numeral font actually does have serifs but they are much smaller than on the rep dials. On another note, my wife fell in love with the Starliner (at only $4500!) and I can't find a good rep of it anywhere! I did, however, walk out of there with a new Breitling catalog! Great for comparisons when rep shopping...
