Get your hands on a GF Avenger if you have a chance, NWBIG to me.
Hi! I'm going to hijack this thread instead of making a new one.
I was looking at this exact one, but has seen a few year old QC's and the font is noticably different from at least online pictures, specifically the gap/line in the middle of the number.
I've also noticed you lose quite a bit of the 9, 3, 5 and 6 compared to pictures due to the extra fuctions being closer to the edges and cutting the numbers off.
Now, I don't really give a shit if others can tell, I'm getting it because it looks amazing, and don't even mind telling my friends that it's fake if asked, but do you reckon this is an issue that can be/has been fixed?

Completely new to the scene and has done some research, and still am, so I apologize if I come off as dumb (I am)

Which one were you looking at? This one looks sick! I’ve been trying to compare it to online photos of the replica and it’s hard to tell just how good the clone is. The price ratio Gen/rep isn’t that great though. I’ve read a couple of post where they said it was a near perfect copy but idk. Does it pay to spend this much on a fake or is the overall quality along with being an excellent clone make it worth it?

That's the one I was looking at. I kept researching a bit since I'm probably newer to this than you are, and I take the "issues" I mentioned about the numbers on the dial back, I was a dumbass comparing the rep of a 45mm to a gen 50mm..

What's worth it is up to you. I love the look of this watch, and could never justify dropping the $9k on a gen

Yes, I agree- this watch is really nice. Really thinking about this one too. Damn this is so addicting.

@mrsullivan Sullivan, are there any further theatrics before you tell us? I hope I'm still alive by the time you tell us.
Hey, we're being sarcastic sometimes around here, don't take it 1rst degree 😉

GF is a factory you'll often hear when it comes to Breitling reps. They were known to produce very accurate reps until they got closed recently.

I’ve read this but there are still some GF Breitlings out there. Are these left over stock or maybe they opened back up? The watch I posted above is a GF.

There may be some left yes, it's worth asking a few TDs.
I heard the factory may be working now under the name of GOF iirc, but more members may chime in to confirm.

Was told by a TD a couple days ago that they can order watches from GF again but the wait times are unknown

Since the GF is not available, I am only finding version of the Seawolf available from the B50 factory. Anyone have an experience with the quality from this factory?
