Hello friends. no one has yet spoken of the index of the bezel at 12. I bought from Toro the avenger gmt blue dial, the watch is fine, I installed a new calendar disk and an original Prodiver 3 rubber strap.But it is recognized by leagues by this index at 12 o'clock, that the original has a small crystal of color similar to green, and the replicas are totally white. I have had the original in my hand and it shows the difference. I also have a blacksteel and the same thing happens. in the official website of breitling you can see the "pearl" of the bezel at 12 o'clock and it is not white.

Sorry I'm not following you on this, first of all you talk about the index of the bezel at 12 and then the pearl saying they are not white and quoting the Breitling site. This is the pic from the B site and the pearl looks white.

The pearl is different anyway because on the rep the pearl is flat. How do you feel is the gen rubber compared to the rep?

Love the gen rubber straps, I prefer the deployment and picked up three gens and two reps:

Gen vs deployment canvas is pretty good, soft rubber and canvas looks solid
Gen vs vs the Ocean racer rep is not nearly soft enough
Gen vs tang buckle rep is Rep comparable to the point if I was into the tang buckle I would not have gone gen straps and saved several hundred dollars!
Gen vs the chronomat raven, rep not as soft
Gen vs the green canvas rep is pretty solid
Gen vs the grey (and black) rep is crap

Cheers mate, just about to pull the trigger on a steelfish as well...just deciding on dial colour, leaning towards the white for some variety!

And @pelusito am I the only one not seeing any green?

Unless you are looking at it after some sunlight with the lum...then slight green but so does the gen!
Mate, please, go to a Breitling store, put the Gen, and then tell us if you see it fine.
There is another thread with other members reporting the same.
If you are desagree with my posts, ok it is fine, but you do'nt read the forum.

Ok I see, you are member from 4 months.

What's that got to do with anything? Its like saying you can't see something because you've only posted 48 times in 8 years. The link you have posted to the GF Avenger 2 chrono is talking about the lume, is that what you mean?
