Thanks for the info, I will go that way. What about the crystal experts here on rwi? Do you have to send the crystal to prof or something? I have heard it takes quite some time is that true?

I have sent my watches to Prof to have him install the crystals. If he doesn't have your crystal in stock he has to order it. The service is not fast, but not unreasonable compared to anything we do we reps. I don't remember exactly. Maybe it took a month or so. The quality of his work is worth the wait.

TBK I think I am gonna go for the ZF avenger 44 and the part I am looking specifically are the whole bezel and the crystal. In cousinsuk I found some generic crystals that fit Breitlings, but I don't know if they are double AR coated. The part I cannot seem to find anywhere is the bezel. I have already sent some queries on TDs if they can get their hands on bezels from other rep factories plus keeping an eye on M2M section if anyone is selling a watch for parts or something

Minty Hummer Are you sure it is that close? The bezel on it looks horrible, even to an untrained eye like mine. Seems they skipped the coating and the engravings are like scratched or ethched with lazer. I thought the strap was good in ZF. Is it stiff and doesn't contour along the wrist?

the bezel is fine and so are the engravings, also you cant call your eye 'untrained' if you are in the rep world Trust me. An untrained eye wouldn't know/spot the difference, I have received so many compliments in my workplace about the ZF version (most of them are from pilots) who are familiar with Breitling and they thought its the real deal although its not. The strap is very stiff and not comfy what so ever, however the watch looks nice

I like it. The biggest problem for me is that the strap is very uncomfortable.
I’m looking for a replacement.
welcome to the forum

Had the same problem with Avenger Blackbird 44 by GF V3.I kinda fixed it by placing a heavy object (a book) over the tied watch overnight.It somehow broke the tension of the strap and it became more comfortable
