New Breitlings- Endurance Pro series

[Emendieta73]

Black is the safest bet That white strap looks pretty nasty after some time... I loved the red though, the color combo is fire! But not for everyday wearing, a bit loud for that.

What about the light blue one?

Gen is dark blue - blue is the only color where OF is very far away from Gen, unfortunately

Breitling makes a light blue:

Breitling makes a light blue:

new collection with different strap - but strap is changeable - so yes, makes sense to consider light blue now - in this case Breitling copied OF

 

[Therion666]

That strap.... It looks like an unfortunate Aliexpress knockoff...

 

[Jazz01]

times are changing: now you would need to consider ordering a light blue OF strap separately for making the Gen looking like a B* Gen

I own an all black version.
A question for fellow owners of the Endurance OF factory rep.
Anyone notice movement of the hands when the watch is tapped or bumped?
I find my watch seems to sometimes show that it has lost or gained 5-10 minutes. When diagnosing this, I stumbled on the realisation that when tapped or bumped against my hand or another object, it sometimes causes the hands to jump.
Anyone have this same problem?
I am reluctant to take the watch apart and check if the hands are properly seated.
When sitting and worn without any sharp bumping, the Endurance keeps near perfect time.
Appreciate any feedback on this.
Thanks

On mine, the main chronology hand has some slight slack and you can see it move slightly when you move the watch around. This is actually a characteristic of the Swiss quartz movement and can also be seen on almost all myota OS quartz movements as well. If you scroll the rough the breitling section here in RWI and deep dive the endurance pro OF models you’ll see we have discovered this characteristic some time ago and documented it. In saying that, it’s only the main chronology hand and not any of the subdial hands that move. If your subdial hands are moving then the movement may be defective.

Thanks for the reply.
On my watch, the subdials and main chrono hand are fine.
The issue is in the minute hand itself. When the watch is tapped harshly on the side of the case, I notice the minute hand will jump a few minutes. I assume the hour hand moves as well as it stays synched to the minute hand, just not as noticable as it moves in less of an arc. Takes a sharp tap to cause this.
Anyone willing to try to duplicate this?
With normal daily wear, I have no issues.
Btw, I still love this watch. I feel it is one of the best reps I have owned, especially when paired with a gen rubber strap.

How does the bezel feel when turning it? crips clips?

How does it feel when moving the bezel? clean crips clips?

Then bezel is a friction bezel no clicks , you press and turn and it works as per genuine .

I purchased mine on M2M and the bezel was floppy .I knew this at point of purchase after discussing it with seller and adjusting price to reflect.

There is an easy fix wrapping a little waxed dental floss under bezel .It took 5 minutes and the bezel is now tight and works correctly .

Got the light blue one and compared to my original
The strap color if off by a bit of shade
But the watch it self looks 90-95%
So if you get the rep, just buy an original strap and you are good to g

Awesome! Great comparison side by side to the gen. And in the light blue version. They really are very close. Really have to look super closely to see any differences besides the very slight color tone difference. Thank you for posting these. These really are great reps.

The pale blue looks nice and I never knew that the gen had two buckles on the strap compared to the rep. Seems like a minor thing to miss.

When I received my rep it had two rubber keepers for the strap (with the fairly accurate double sided buckle).
I thought the rep strap was ok but when I tried the gen strap on at the Breitling store I immediately ordered it. The quality of the gen strap takes the watch to the next level.
And it has just ONE rubber keeper.
And does not include the buckle.
Love this watch!

The one with the tag is the rep

Haha, doh! I thought that was the gen with the tag.

if you like tag and guarantee card you have to buy OF - unfortunately the guarantee card comes with a wrong QR code. Gen comes without tag and instead of a guarantee card you get a NFT
