Welp, I made an impulse buy today. I was swayed by the work that went into the movement and the reviews I've read on the accuracy of this watch.
Started out reading this:
Letting yet one of my babies go. It's the latest Breitling Evolution V3 with updated date date wheel and perfect AR (best I've seen). It's in pristine condition without even a hair
line scratch anywhere. I bought this 2 moths ago but realized I've become a 'PAM-man'
. It has never left the watch case....
The movement has been fully disassembled (inc. mainspring), ultrasonically cleaned, oiled and calibrated on my vibrograph. No vague story about an unknown watchmaker who might or
might not have done a complete 'service'. No I personally gave it a full tear-down. Take a look here and scroll down. I also replaced all screws with silver ones so the movement
looks almost spot on with the gen caliber 13. Off course everything resets to zero perfect.
Needless to say the dial and hands are spotless. You will not find even the tiniest dust spot. Dust you might see on the photos is on the outside of the crystal. It has a
staggering 45 hours power reserve and runs super accurate. I also greased all the seals (including the ones in the chrono pushers) and pressure tested it. It's guaranteed water
proof! The rider tabs are deep and nicely engraved and the bezel click firm like the genuine. The crown screws down buttery smooth a full 5 turns! It comes on new ss Pilot bracelet
which was never installed so it's also brand new.

Not sure about the bezel or bracelet, but we'll see when she gets here. Rubber strap going on it for sure though. May change the dial one of these days. This will be my first Breitling of this sort, it'll be interesting to see if this one stays with me...
Found this, not sure if it's worth reading or not...
