Breitling SuperOcean Heritage II 46mm Chrono A13312

[tkingjr]

I have been waiting for GF to make a 46mm SOH for my skinny wrist. I just couldn't wait any longer. I am breaking all my own rules buying a watch by AN Factory. My PVD Avenger from ANF was a big disappointment. When I ordered the watch I didn't follow my own rules so I ended up with a POS. To rationalize my purchase in my addicted mind I looked at the quality of 4 Breitling two button deployment clasps I bought. The quality is amazing. I have approved my QC pics. Now I wait 2-3 weeks for it to arrive and post photos.

Me too, did you notice anything on the QCs that might indicate how good the rep is?

I could see nothing in the pics. Lucy is my TD, she picks up on problems I never see. If it wasn't for the quality of the deployments made by ANF I would never have ordered the watch. With all the help on RWI I am always trying to buy the best Rep possible,

That pearl and date wheel are just terrible though. I guess you could take parts from the watch however and build something. Personally this watch is not worth the money if you aren't going to mod it. Especially when we have some many gf nice accurate breiltlings.

My H Factory and GF Breitlings are very nice. I will post plenty of photos when the watch arrives. I realize I am taking a chance on AN Factory since I was already made a fool once with my Avenger PVD by ANF.

Sorry, please excuse my ignorance, what is GF? Which factories do you deal with and how?

Welcome to RWI,

I suspect you just joined RWI. GF is a factory that makes great Breitling Reps. The watch photo I posted is made by AN Factory. We are not sure how good the watch will be when it arrives in a few weeks. We don't deal directly with the factories. We use Trusted Dealers such as Puretime. We have many TD's here. Each has a unique selling style.

Here are some links to make you feel comfortable. Take your time and read and read. When you first join it is a bit overwhelming. You will be fine in a few weeks if you spend time reading. The first two links will help you understand the process of buying a Rep watch. It is not Amazon. You will need patience.

Puretime’s domain is https://puretime.io/

Don’t use Google to find our Trusted Dealer websites. You will get scammed by a fake site.

Don’t look for Trusted Dealer websites via Google. Only go to TD’s here on RWI.

My SuperOcean Heritage Chrono A13312 arrived. Here is a link to the watch. My TD says it is made by AN Factory.

Over all I am pleased. The items I don’t like are being replaced.
The watch itself looks very nice. I could not find any flaws. I do welcome comments from our experts here on RWI. That is how I learn.

The bracelet is just OK. I like stainless bracelets in general. They are always my first choice. This bracelet is irritating. Why I am not sure. I have worn the watch for a day and a half. The irritation is in the area of the adjustment links. This morning I ordered a Staib mesh bracelet. It will arrive in a week or so from Germany.

The Deployment is one of the worst I have seen. It is cheap. The Breitling WING is so bad it belongs on the $30 Reps. The BREITLING name is the wrong font. They got carried away with the serifs. I couldn’t replace it fast enough. The photos of the watch have the good deployment from AN Factory installed. The quality of this Deployment is as close to Gen as you can get. It is not cheap at $178, just 50% of the Gen cost.
The first 3 photos are of the poor quality deployment, the next 4 photos are the AN Factory Deployment.

In the end with the changes in am making it is a great watch. The costs are as follows.
Watch: $328
Deployment: $178
Staib Mesh: $230
Shipping: $30

I spent a total of $766 vs $6,340 for a Gen. It was well worth it. The best improvement for the money was the deployment.
I have a SOH II 42mm by GF inbound with a mesh bracelet. When it arrives I will compare the bracelets.

If anything is not clear let me know and I will fix it.

Great post...and watch, so they did the old bait and switch with the deployment which is irritating not getting what is pictured but I guess that’s part of the hobby!

 

[andyr]

Thanks for pics bud. Can't see your pics at the moment but main flaw from the pt site pics is the datefont which is way off.

Also there is no way the factories will ever get close to the gen mesh, so not surprised you're ditching that. Enjoy!

Great watch.

i also have an ANF Breitling Colt chrono Blacksteel which is really nice and doesnt have any flaw except the AR.

Anyway if you want to get rid of the bracelet / deployant, i might be interested

Here are my photos. This watch is by AN Factory. It is better than I expected and would recommend it to those that want the 46mm. I did replace the bracelet with a Staib 24mm X 20mm for the quality and comfort. My only disappointment is the deployment. I have ordered the better quality deployment from AN Factory. The quality difference is dramatic as well as the price. Overall it is worth buying and upgrade as you wish.

The font and logo on the deployment are so wrong it makes me wonder how the same company can make a next to perfect deployment.

I welcome comments on details I did not see.
