So a fellow member had let me know these were posted yestuday on Puretime. There are some 44mm supeoreans also which I believe are the same that were posted from the TF factory a while ago. I would imagine these are the same factory. Watch looks decent it's just that date font screams look at me. See what you guys think.

Yah the superocean bezels are totally incorrect. The factory just needs to update them to the new style. The chronos from what I can see looks decent. Looks like they have the update case and lugs. Just have to swap in a gen 7750 brietling date wheel.

Indeed, at first glance the chrono's look pretty neat. To bad the date wheel is off. Not necessary imo.
A swap is a must indeed.

Very curious about the pearl. Can't see if it has the glass look. (Probably not)

Pearl looks off too I think, no fish eye effect, or maybe I’m seeing it wrong I don’t know, old numeric bezels were very pretty. I hope Breitling doesn’t ruin their avenger design like they did on chronomat series

Does anyone had the lastest batch of the avenger skyland from GF by the way? I wonder if they updated the pearl like they did on some of their avengers like bandit and 43mm avengers

Well, studying the pearl a bit more... I come to think the pearl might me quite alright.

The updated Seawolf and Bandit also have better pearls in real life as in the pictures. Fingers crossed

Yes, I'm not a fan of the current bezels with less numerals. Like the Seawolf and 43. But... As this dial is a lot more busy, it's not a issue at all on the chrono's (for me).

TBK I think you are right with the pearl. I think it acruallty look ok. The pearl is hard to capture in photos cause it looks like the lume is higher.

Based on previous releases TF = a hard pass...quality for the price is just not worth it:(

I do wish GF makes these newer models as at 44mm and with their quality these would be a fantastic release:thumbsup:

So im not sure if this is the rep being sold as a gen but it sure looks like it because of the datewheel. Besides that it looks pretty decent. What you guys think?

It doesn’t look like puretime’s website. Where did you find the link?
I should put my glasses on before posting. I was concerned someone would be scammed.

I looked at the oxf and they have the case and bezel which are totally not correct. I was going to order a tf because it looks great. The tf quality scares me. That is the only reason I havemy ordered the tf.
