me too - I quite liked that.

Can't wait to hear what the experts think / have to say (so I can add more knowledge to my baggie...)

Yeah, that's about how tight the case backs are on most of these watches when shipped! (I realize you loosened it, but I swear the last two watches Ive ordered have arrived nearly that loose)
And Ive never seen an A7750 that spun the rotor when the crown was turned...

i have had eta's and asian 7750's spin the rotor when winding, it's called helocoptering. it can be a sign the movement needs to be serviced but i have also had them do it when you let them sit for a long time. i have had them do it and wear them for a couple of days and never do it again.

I know this sounds a little paranoid

but could you remove "replica" of the title ?

Dont need ppl seeing how good our reps are getting

i am not sure the op posted the vid on you tube. the breitling source forum has uploaded many rep reviews and shows the flaws of the latest breitling reps on you tube.

the breitling source is a gen forum but they stay abreast of the rep world so they can recognize a rep.

The scary part is that I dont have any tools for that kind of case back lid but it actually just accidently came loose when I was about to try a leather bracelet. My other watches that is with screw down casebacks seems to be tightended better. This one I just locked back by using a "poly-grip". Not really the "politically right" way to do it but that was what I had. Using some rubber grip things didnt tight it enough....

I posted the video. Since someone gave me a comment here to remove the replica text, I just did...

Cut the crap with the rumour creations.. I made the video, I would´nt have made it if the caseback had´nt accidently came loose, its an illustration combined with somewhat of a indication on how unreliable some pieces are. I dont know if the rotor should spin like that but it looks logical since it is that thing that winds it up when the wrist is moving. But right now I tested it again and the rotor has started to wobble so that the whole watch is shaking when I wind the crown. The watch Is working fine all the way apart from this. Maybe I should visit some non-AD repair shop....

ok......

i am not sure where you are going with this, maybe i didn't say it very clearly. sometimes when i post something i think i am the only one that knows what i am talking about so i will try to be a little more clear.

you don't need to change the title because the breitling source forum posts reviews on all the good breitling reps,

[youtube:2qktmtai]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uEIgz3x9tU&feature=channel[/youtube:2qktmtai]

cut the crap with the rumor creations? i was just letting everybody here know there are a lot of members on this forum that belong to many gen forums.

Awesome looking watches!
Especially when combined with the boxes they look maybe even better ;D

Have You compared a rolex gen to a replica side by side and the overall feeling of them?

i have my wife's ym, she has a rep she also wears. it is ok but not as smooth and the dial color isn't as as good as it should be.

i offered to do a review with a rep gmt2c when they first came out compared to my gen. jandrew and co were touting them as a 1 to 1 rep but there were many flaws. they sent one to somebody on rep geek instead where they knew they would get a great review and they did.

i was basically told i was just jealous because i had wasted my money on a gen. the hype machine convinced everybody these were great.

a few weeks went by and slowly the movement failures started showing up but nobody wanted to say anything in fear of retribution from all of the jandrew fanboys. word slowly started to spread anyway until now everybody knows to stay clear of a chs movement and the clasp, overall finishing and bezel insert issues have been corrected. in the beginning allot of people got ripped off on these and ended up with very expensive paper weights.

they are much better and cheaper now, everybody knows the chs is a pos and to this day nobody has ever sent me one to review. my gen is still worth what i paid for it and those 400.00 chs movement watches are broke.

here is just one of the many threads about this.

Right there with you. I hollered from the rooftops. And to this day people are still buying them. It's still recommended by people all the time at cc.
