Added some pics instead of the video. See post #4;)

I would not buy a watch based on a 30-second video. You need closeup pics from all sides including the caseback I have never seen a Gen Breitling clasp like the one in the video. Is the seller saying this is a Rep or Gen?

A verry bad DHG rep. Almost every detail is wrong. Compare it to this picture of an fellow member.

And the hands are way, way off. Agree with the DH gate opinion.

Unless he's asking for less than 50 euros, I would recommend you to stay away from this one. Since the details on the outside are this sloppy, you never know what is running inside the watch. It could break within a few days/weeks and the cost of servicing/repairing the movement will be more than the price of this rep.

You are comparing a SOHI vs SOHII so they are slightly different watches, to start with the date difference is as per gen as is the pearl. But the watch is sub par and I’m being kind...I wouldn’t pay anything for it.

Thatwatchguy you're absolutely right! Here is the rep vs the A17320 (since I believe the replica was based on this model and not the newer version because of the missing pearl and different hands):
A17320



Rep

The main issues with this rep are (only talking about the front of the watch):
- Blue isn't the same shade (but it is also an issue with the V2 as well)
- Wrong date position
- Insert markers are stretched out
- Dial markers are farther from the lume dots (also look thinner)
- Dial text
- Dial number spacing (look at the 15)
- B logo is too thin
- Lugs are fatter and shorter

Nobody makes a 48mm. You can buy a 46mm from Puretime. Here is the link https://puretimewatch.io/superocean...ceramic-bezel-on-blue-rubber-strap-a2824.html
have this watch and the 46mm chrono. Both made by AN Factory. These are not as good as GF Factory but they are good. You don't have much of a choice since GF will not make a 46mm.

oh, thank you very much. I saw the 42mm but its unfortunately too small for me. 46mm is a good choice i think. Now i look closer to the different sizes. You are right. The 42 models are more accurate than the 46mm models. The band on the 42 mm Model look like the original. The band on the 46mm not.

If you want to upgrade the 46mm you can buy a Staib mesh bracelet and a deployant from AN Factory. You can find a lot of photos and details in the Superocean 42mm thread.

As already pointed out date window, hands and 12 marker on bezel are correct for the original heritage 42mm version A17321, which this is a rep of. Watch and bracelet are utter crap though.
