Finally my breitling legend arrived, been waiting over a month due to cny and some general confusing information swapping starting here and ending on rwg 2,0 under rwi outage. All in all, with theese reasons, i think getting my watches (also bought gst3707) from precious has been a success! It actually took less than 48 hours from shipping out of London, til arriving at the door in Copenhagen...pretty good.
The watch itself is nothing short of an absolute GEM!
the whole look and feel is extremely genlike!
I went to the AD few times petting this watch before ordering... and seeing the rep is no disappointment! Few things stand out when knowing the rep.
Obviously the date sunken wheel. The bracelet is though really really beautyful, much less smooth, something I expect to get better in time. The bezel feels like there is a bit of dirt somewere inbetween the movable parts, though moving with the same heavy "glide" as the gen counterpart. Theese are minor flaws that are expectable with a rep. Only one thing is wierd to me with this watch is the bracelet lock, that has this really loose light cheapo thin material sound and feel, should be possible to make a nicer lock than this tin can part.

Very nice trksh, and I'm glad that it finally came good for you.

+1 on the wrist shot. I'd like to see how large this wears.

Wow, beautiful watch; extremely close to the gen. I've been on a Breitling kick for about a year and now I've found the next one to add to my list.
