I have been trying to purchase this one as well and I already got the QC photos and I think the one from JTime has a thinner date wheel font compared to gen.

I have requested for another video requesting for a date wheel scroll to check the font for all dates.

here is another helpful link for the apples to apples comparison between gen and GF.

It may be different to gen but that’s no reason to reject it though

but if you are just buying this watch because it is NWBIG, for me, it is one of the main reason to RL the watch. ;)

it is confirmed that the date font is different from gen so I will just pass and choose another model..

Damn I feel sorry for the TD you ordered from, they don’t control the factory batches. The pictures on the website are at a point in time and quality from batches can vary, I’ve had about 5-6 of this watch with varying degrees of good date font, AR, pearl. TDs don’t care about the NWBIG LIST:ROFLMAO:

99% of people will not even notice your watch let alone look and from memory know the date font is different on the wrist…after all some gen Breitling models do have different date fonts like the superocean special.

Rejecting a watch on this basis is very bad form as there is no mis-alignment, damage to it. This will only piss the TD of and users that see this and push prices up:rolleyes:

It’s batsh!t cray to RL it, the next one will be the same batch…you think the TD can just ask the factory for one with date font correct as per gen:ROFLMAO:

100%, i do agree that unlike popular models, i doubt anyone will notice the date font or even knows how its supposed to look like . And yes TDs do not care about NWBIG LIST . i for one ordered a avenger gmt with the help from kind folks from this thread. And my least concern is really the date font, if its the right one , thats a great bonus, if its not, any glaring issues such as misalignment or wonky positioning would be my biggest concern.

Tbh, where i am from, no one really wears breitling so theres that.

I tried to keep to the NWBIG list but that list is ages old, and to my understanding , if the newer batches for a particular (NWBIG) watch had been sub-par for awhile, i do not think they will remove it . I think its better to serve as a guideline.

To not mention that in the mean time factories have been raided, closed, moved and opened again. You pretty lucky to even get the model you want.

I also agree with what the other members more politely told you. If you want perfection buy a gen.

Don't fool yourself. Even if the watch looks perfect the movements are the same cheap replicas. So the second you move your arm and the rotor sounds like the Apollo11 about to lift off, everybody will know you are wearing a rep 😁

Pardon my ignorance, can someone tell me which GF version is this? I could never tell DW differences between versions.
I'd like to put this on sale and don't want to put wrong information, bought this in 2018 from Toro Bravo if that helps.
Apologies for the ugly black strap.
