[neon_7]

Thanks Peter for guiding me in the Direction of Neon_7.
He did A Great job for me on the date Wheel of the breitling chronomat B01 42 mm GF Edition that Whas very sunken.
After he put on a other date Wheel, the watch Looks perfect, and You cannot Tell anymore If this is an original or a replica.
I love it so much and I am so grateful that I came in contact with Neon_7, truly A Man Off his Word.
And I Got The Watch Back in two weeks

Thanks a lot for the kind words mate. Was a pleasure doing it for you. Here some more pics of the work done:

from what I understand the GF replica is the most similar to gen...
Aside from date wheel does it have any giveaway differences with gen?

Case proportion, subdials or text?

Not that I Know To Me it Looks Real similar like the original

Does anyone here have the green Chronomat? If so, have you compared it to a gen? How does it look? I saw a gen green Chronomat a few weeks back and it looked stunning. Such a beautiful watch. If the rep dial looks almost as good, it's a must have!

I don't have one personally, but from what I've seen here and on reddit the color looks really close and is stunning

The bullets are actually just thin covers.

Is the gen the same, or solid?

Anyone know the weight of the GF rep?

I would imagine the gen is the same to facilitate the link design. The link itself underneath the bullet cover is solid.

Hard to explain as it’s a quirky design. See here for some detail

It’s been more than 20 years since I purchased a new out-of-the-box Breitling watch. In the early 1990s as I was starting my journey as a watch collector Breitling was a brand that I truly loved. I still remember buying my first Breitling, which was a Colt with a white dial on a brown calf strap. La

Interesting, what about the rep weight?

 

[APjumbo]

GF 42mm sized to 7” wrist

Honestly I thought it would be heavier because it wears like my AP SS diver on SS bracelet.

 

[Artie Lange]

For the rep owners, do you wear these

I would suggest leaving the chrono well alone and do not use it all

Meaning the long red hand stays motionless?

I always use the chrono hand as a seconds hand, I need to see movement. Is this rep not for me?

Yes…
Leave the chrono function alone on these A7750 reps.

For reps in particular, leaving the chronograph alone increases the longevity of the movement.

In my opinion, you should never constantly be using the chronograph on Swiss ETA movements even. It does no good for the health of the watch.

The only movement where it’s mechanically feasible to constantly use the chronograph is those with vertical clutches, which in the Breitling world, is the B01 movement (no rep of that movement exists).

I have purchased many Brieling's. I use the second hand all the time and the Chrono on occasion.

The central second hand only moves only when the chronograph is active though, correct?

That isn't a seconds hand, that's a chronograph hand.....

The second hands is located in the subdial, the small one in the small circle at 9 o clock

If you want a constantly moving seconds hand, don't buy a chronograph. Just buy a regular watch.

It's a chronograph seconds hand, but I was referring to this:

I use the second hand all the time and the Chrono on occasion.

Assuming this means the subdial second is always running, I guess I could try that, and if it's not enough movement I could just run the chrono when worn.
