Navitimer different in pictures vs qc pics

[melody]

So i decided to get the navitimer world and picked a random TD which ended up being dealer clocks. and i will post a review when i get it. But i only noticed after i ordered that the printing is significantly thicker on the one in the qc pics. They said its a real gmt and the 7754 is available to buy online so someone very well could have just copied the 7754, so i think the gmt hand is real. Plus the band appears to be stamped rather than etched in the pics. These are differences in qc pics vs the dealer website not vs. the genuine.

So i wanted to ask if this was normal, to be slightly different than the website pictures. The website pictures are not the genuine for what its worth its still definitely a rep.

The watch still looks great and if it works it will be more than fine for me. I’m not looking to look like i own a real breitling and fool people, i just like the look of the watch and the slide rule and there aren’t any other options like that.

Pics would help?

here you go. This is the dial with the most noticeable area circled. I didn’t upload any at first because its less the specific differences im concerned about as much as it is that they are different at all. If you want to see the bracelet too i can download and edit them as well.

It’s a good rep and an older one, I’m sure TD’s don’t update website for different batches…it’s not Amazon

I’d accept and move on, many reps are not available so I’d take a win and move on:thumbsup:

True. Like i said im still super happy with it assuming it works. (The waiting is so bad though how do yall do it?? I keep like imagining that i could be in a horrible accident and die before i get to enjoy it and i just want to have the darn thing…) but anyways Thanks i just wanted to know if it was normal. I appreciate the reply!

melody The members that have been around for a while are used to the waiting. We have seen the raids happen almost every year. In the last two years, the raids have been worse. Before the raids would last for a couple of weeks. This year they are continuing for months and no sign of letting up. My solution to solving the waiting time is to have a watch always on order. Lately, that isn't working very well. I would recommend you drive safely.

Ive been wondering, Why is it such a big deal to them??? It makes the economy money, and doesn’t overlap with the genuine markets at all. Like nobody who wants a lange is gonna go buy a fake one from china. So if its not hurting watch manufactures then why do they even care?
Also thank you, i do try to drive safely, but i could be hurt at work or like someone could murder me outside my home. Or my house could catch on fire. Thats more what i meant, the susprising things. I dunno why it bothers me so much but gives me a ton of anxiety.

Is the first pic the one you got? Because the pics show 2 different date fonts, the 2nd pic is incorrect font?

 

[Importr]

I'll answer myself, the 2nd pic is obviously the website one!

Also the bezel teeth are different, the gens are flatter like the first pic

The first one is qc, second is website. The website one is not the genuine but it just looks very different and idk why. As well the bracelet is stamped instead of etched in the qc pics. They say its the same model and same factory but i think it just either got confused or they changed their manufacturing methods.
like i said earlier, I don’t care if its not exact, I don’t want to trick people i just want a chrono with a slide rule. but i just don’t want a poorly fitting or poorly working rep and the print seems to be less legible because its squished together.
the date fonts are all wrong in chinese 7750, but i think its actually more easily legible especially since its darker.
tiny side question, a sample shipping tracking record they sent me got updates after like 5 days but for me its been 14 days. Should i worry? They say no but im paranoid and anxious

Nope, very normal. It'll get there!
