New GF Breitling Chrono

[johnlogan]

This one hit the Nail ! if i hadn't placed an order Yesterday for the new VC Fiftysix complete Calender i would hit the refresh button like every 5 sec.

Hope its online soon.

Same here!!! Reverting with QCs once paid in full.

Hmmm…as I’m looking at it. It feels like not from GF? The date wheel window just slightly above 6o clock looks higher than the initial ones launched by GF.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Yes you are spot on.

Also date font is offf and a lot more dull than the previous versions. Not too mention the pearl

GF can easily have changed dial suppliers between the releases. But yes, this release and the previous release both have date cutouts that sit too high vs GEN. I think the pearl is fine.

This is my most wanted watch right now!

I picked up a gen yesterday. First Breitling I have owned and I must say I absolutely love it.

I was dubious at first about the bracelet since there’s no micro adjustment, but it fits and feels perfect and really sets the watch off.

Thought you guys may appreciate a couple of pics!

Great buy, enjoy this beauty !

And thank you for the pics, it's appreciated to have a gen to compare with GFs and others to come (get your camera ready, the boys will ask for every possible angle of your gen now lol).

1rst thing about what's been said up here, the pics comfirm the datefont and date window cut-out are way off.

What's next ?

It’s not just the date window being too high, it’s too small (not deep enough) does this mean it’s got a different movement or just a smaller datewheel

Same movement but probably different suppliers for DW and dial since the last release. Thatwatchguy is also pointing out the pearl. IMHO the finish is outstanding and screams GEN and high quality. I don’t think the date cutout will bother me much.
GF are miles ahead of TF with this release.
I just wish the TDs would hurry up and making the watch available for order.

Congratulations! Super sexy.

domthedon030 thanks for sharing your gen pics. Always appreciated.

Although it's still a outstanding quality watch, compering it with a gen pic, it makes it painfully clear that there are some issues. Mostly with the date (depth, fond, window) but have you guys taken a look a the 'B'? That fat 'B' is not gf worthy.

Did you get QC's yet? Cant wait to see pics of the two tone. I'd get rid of my blue one possibly and replace with one of these.

PT is late as fuck! No QCs as of today. Hopefully Monday.

I think GF released the 2 tone models and then cancelled them. The listings have been removed from Trusty.

The two-tone watches from Puretime are from TF factory hence the flaws with date font, date cut-out etc.

Puretime have even stated TF in their listings now.

 

[johnlogan]

PT is offering me a blue dial when I ordered the brown and they even try to pawn of a broken bracelet! Check the gold falling off. Terrible service by PT. Terrible !!

 

[johnlogan]

Broken bracelet
Uneven machining on the bezel
Uneven machining on the movement

 

[johnlogan]

Something is strange about this release! Both Intime and Trusty have pulled this release and no longer offer this piece.
