My watch arrived. It exceeds expectations. I added a Gen Areo strap. Still waiting for my polished deployment so for now, I have to rough it with the Ti deployment
that looks brilliant. Can I ask where you bought the gen aero strap and how much you paid? Thanks

I got mine off an eBay Breitling seller out of holland, was only about $140 plus shipping (dhl which was very expensive) from memory.
I bought my Gen Areo from an eBay seller in the UK for about $154 shipping included. It arrived in the USA in a few days. Sellar was excellent.

Mine arrived today from RepPossessed. I won’t post a pic as it looks just like everyone else’s. It’s a lovely watch and as good as everyone on here has said it is. I thought some of you guys were exaggerating about the sound of the rotor, but f**k me it’s loud!! Lol
ive never had a watch so loud. Anyone had any joy sorting that out?

I don't find my black too loud...don't think the dial colour would effect the rotar noice I think it is just lock of the draw!

Ive got the blue. Maybe it’s a case by case basis? It is really loud but I’m not too bothered by it, the watch is stunning. Definitely gonna get a new strap for it though.
Sometimes a watch can vary in noise. The build of blue and black is identical. It's got nothing to do with the color, it's just sometimes a bearing is noisier than another.

Oh exactly guys. I know the build between the 2 is no different. It varies watch to watch. Just iron hat someone posted that the blue was quieter then their black also. It is really luck of the draw. I guess I got the best of both worlds.

I have to hold the watch against my ear to hear the rotor. I can't complain
Likewise...luck of the draw!
Maybe when you order this watch specify to the TD that you want them to pick you one without a noisy rotor? And hope that you don't get one with a quiet rotor but with everything else all jacked up

Anyone know how close this watch is in weight to the Gen? (Just the watch head itself I mean). Loving mine and wears extremely comfortably on leather, partly due to the light weight. Feels really light in comparison to my Noob Sub on leather. Just curious whether there’s a huge difference in weight between this and the gen.
