Man, the blue and gray look so good... I thought I had settled on a sea master but after looking at these pics I just don’t know

Ditch one of your Navis for the Premier, and get a Seamaster as well. The VSF SMP300s are NWBIG in my opinion, as I owned both gen and rep. Unless I looked at the serial number, I couldn't tell which one was which without a caliper or a loupe. More importantly, they FEEL as good as gen. For me, the feel is more important than a visual detail. A lot of reps have certain visual details correct, but they feel "off" in your hands and on your wrist.

Finally got mine. Very happy with the end result. Nicely executed watch with quality finish and construction. Would definitely recommend!

Already got tracking for my blue dial one of these. It unfortunately found its way to Saudi do not telling when it’ll arrive. Previous order still waiting 17 days later!

I could only find it on eBay for a decent price. It is a Breitling Bracelet 452A. Here is the link to my purchase. I have paid in the $650-$750 range. Both came from a jewelry store. A Gen that is new is $1350.

Be careful on eBay. They have one for sale without the end links.

Silly question, and I think you’ve already answered this, but can’t I find the end links somewhere and then just use one of my navitimer bracelets?

For those who have one of these, how does the 15mm thickness feel on wrist? The panda dial looks so good but 15mm does seem a bit too thick... If you have any more shots of how the date wheel looks, that'd be great!

I was literally wondering about the same exact thing. My QC came and my jaw dropped when I saw how thick it was...

Man, I absolutely love the premier and how it feels on my wrist.. the thickness is nothing, it sits really well — at least on my wrist anyway.. it feels smaller than some of my others even with the 15mm thickness..

How big is your wrist? Mine is pretty tiny. 6-6.25”.

Hello everyone !
I gifted a GF B01 to my dad last month, bought here M2M. The 11 o’clock index is crooked. Anyone knows how index is fixed to the dial ? Just glued or feet in dial ? I which I could fix that, my cousinsUK order arrives in a few days with hands lever etc.

Can you post a pic of the watch dial with the sweeping chrono seconds hand over the 11 marker? That may help in advising you the best way how to fix it.

Most likely the marker has feet on it which aid in positioning the marker while it is glued on.
