I personally just ordered one from Jtime. I supplied them with a few pictures from this thread and they knew the manufacturer. As others in this thread have stated they're called "Original Factory"

Unsure why no TDs have these listed on their site.

I've just ordered a red one from Jtime.
428 usd minus 5% for certain payment method.
It's still 7 times cheaper than a new gen retail....

Looking at previous pics of this breitlight rep, I'm amazed that it looks 99% like gen! Or have I missed something?

The watch is awesome and really really close to the gen. But the structure of the breitlight is bit different than the rep. But nobody will notice if you have no gen to compare
yellow is rep red is gen

And check the screws of the Caseback, they are often not fully screwed down as its really hard to screw them fully down! Press the caseback down and use a 100% fitting screwdriver if you have to screw it in.

Thanks for the info regarding the caseback. Was there a gasket there too?

And about the bezel comparison : are we talking about the flats on the scallop edges on the rep? That doesn't bother me, but if someone was really ocd about it, they could remove the bezel and give it some very light sanding and polishing to round them off...

If "original factory" produces Breitlings to this standard consistently, I'll be a customer for life! :)

Did you also have the cheaper steel case version? Is it the same size as the carbon version?

I've got the steel version V2 in yellow, and I find that it wears really easy on the wrist. Like a 43mm watch. Not bulky or heavy like some breitlings.

RobSe1 any feedback on the watch, I am planning to order the Red version from Li, would love your feedback on how you like the watch and if there are any noticeable issues with it.

Thanks a lot!

Mine arrived today :)

​​​​​​I'm VERY impressed with it. Well made, superlight weight, very comfy to wear.
The only negative is that I feel the bezel spins too easily. It needs that breitling-esque manly pressure to keep it still.

I took the bezel off, and there's a thin o-ring that is supposed to offer resistance. I used floss alongside it for now but will order a thicker o-ring. 38mm x 1mm I think.

Otherwise, I think it's great!

Just email them the watch, most models are not listed but Li is quick if they can source it.

Replica oblivion…
Mine is also on it way ! ( original factory - carbon fibre baby blue )
RL’d 2 of them due to the misaligned main chrono hand but then realised they are all like that… even the gen has some slop . It moves when the watch is moved around. Gear tolerances…

Yeah I haven't ordered the o-rings yet. Was waiting to order other bits to save on postage.

The dental floss is working fine aswell though. I put the bezel back on as normal and then pulled the floss into the bezel. It just about disappears into the tiny gap.
