Hi, new here. For finanacial reasons, sadly, I recently sold my Breitling Superocean Heritage II 42 with rubber band ( Authentic). Figured I should buy a REP, to make myself feel better ( stupid, i know). All reps I see have regular pin buckle clasp, my former watch had a folding clasp. Is it something that TD should be able to later if asked?

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.

If you have a good relationship with your TD ask them to source the watch with the clasp you want. Be specific by sending a link for the clasp you want. On Ali you get what you pay for. If you order the cheapest you will be disappointed.

Hi,
Did you buy and receive your rep yet?
Could you share factory and impression from the rep you bought?
Looking for a best possible Superocean Heritage B20 42 blue dial. Currently looking at GF as what looks most promising. Feedback would be highly appreciated :)

GF makes the best possible. I have the Superocean Heritage. Make sure you use one of the Trusted Dealers listed on RWI. Don't get any links from the internet.

Thanks. Only problem is I understand GF is closed… some saying it reopened as GO factory, and potentially looking at GOF, but I should have definitely bought it before GF closed, cause it’s a fiiine beauty.

Did you ask your TD? The TD is the person that will visit the factory to buy your watch. When factories are raided some open up under a different name. Make sure you are using a link from RWI site and not the internet. If you used the internet for the site info you will never see your watch or money.

Yes, have asked TD. He’s looking at alternatives now. Confirmed GF not an option.

Received feedback from TD that there’s no quality reps to source now that GF is closed… As I feared.
