Imho I feel we all have been a tad overdramatic in regards to the color blue. In the arm this looks absolutely great. Very balanced, heavy, clean and photogenic.

The OM buckle however don’t feel too safe as the springbars sits loose and might pop out if the rubber is bent out of shape. Also the mini adjuster on the back is very REP ish and not feel solid at all.

Besides this I love this REP

very nice pics, great package overall

I still believe there is something really wrong with this blue. Too 'electric'. I can't wait to see the one from the other factory

Apart from that the watch seems really close to the gen. When I get a rep, I don't need perfection and I don't mind buying a rep with little flaws that can only be seen at very close range. With this one, I think I would be able to pick up the wrong color from mid/long distance

Actually, the dial color even though wrong, is not terrible. However, that Bezel color is a disaster

I am posting more pics of my gen below:

could you please tell me which TD did you order? how did it come with all the box and papers like gen? could you please share what you did? or the specific link if you did not do a special effort to get the boxset but only you just ordered? thanks.

99 out of a 100 buyers dont care about box & papers and so the TDs dont put too much weight in advertising it. Just ask Puretime if you need box & papers.

Ok thanks bud

Pulling the trigger on the black GF I’m going to order a gen leather strap and clasp or mesh if I can find one

Is the rotor really that much of an issue or is it dramatic lol


Sent from the RWI App

No worries...rotor noise seems to be hit or miss.

Gen mesh and gen aero are the straps I added and it makes for a stunning piece!

I went to a Breitling store earlier today to check the Superocean Heritage II B20 42mm black dial. It's F****** gorgeous on a mesh bracelet.

Does anyone has a link or a reliable source to buy a gen/good rep mesh bracelet for the 42mm?

Couldn't agree more love mine...got the gen mesh off a eBay seller which was cheaper than retailers but not by much.

I bought a Staib Mesh on eBay. My plan is to install the new two button deployment on this bracelet.
