Hey guys, as my addicition goes on, finally I was able to order through TD Avenger GMT II from GF. Now as I'm not specialist on Breitlings, and I know GF had some issues and started again on March (also I was told by TD that watch was out of stock couple of times) , I would like to make sure its the same version that was sold previously by GF and was considered NWBIG. I also noticed that the bezel is not aligned properly (pushed to the left) and pearl might be pushed the right. Asked for clearer shots and waiting. So what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance.

I’m also thinking of this for my next purchase, as for bezel vs dial alignments, I know for a fact that in a single picture 12 3 6 and 9 dial markers won’t match up with the bezel ever.

It will only happen with 3 and 9 for a picture 12 and 6 for another. Also is very tricky to tell al these angles since most photos are not dead on.

By the way, the bezel seems to have no actual rotation since in the shown photos it has the same lateral distance both 12 and 6 grips against the bracelet mid links.

You should check date wheel font accuracy, I think it looks good, but I’ve heard there were about 3 different DW, I’m no expert in that area.

By the way which TD could get it?

Good luck!

TD part is tricky... First I ordered from Toro, but after a day or two was told its out of stock and no idea if or when itll be back. After almost a month (Im still waiting for a part) I asked trustytime, they said they have it and double checked for me... But Since I have a nice relations with Toro and 2 watches at the warehouse already approved and waiting, I asked Toro again... Next day I got QC photos, though I didnt even pay yet

Check the last picture from first set, where you can see that the bezel lines up with the dial pretty good (mark 9 and 3). This way you can tell it would indeed match at 12 and 6 mark, if not it would implicate that either the dial is misprinted or the bezel casted incorrectly which is very unlikely, since all production run would be affected.

Parallax phenomenon is to be blamed on the apparent misaligned bezel at 6, the photo angle is not exactly dead on straight. After thoroughly looking at QCs the lume shot confirms everything ligning up nicely.

Post your pics after getting you watch,

Best regards.
