LOL! I was biding my time for the right moment to use the “nuclear option.” [emoji23] But now that you’ve “outed” me, here goes:

Good to see another Breitling fan! I wish factory's put more effort into making Breitlings. The current versions out at the moment a quite far from gens.
I totally agree with you!!! Breitling reps used to be better back in the day imo. Evolutions were really well done and most, if not all had solid double AR Coating! Nowadays the crystal is the biggest giveaway because most factories don't use double AR. At least what I've seen lately is just AR to the underside of the crystal... Makes no sense to me! They had it right and then messed it up. One step forward, two steps back! What else is new 🙄😂

Haha yeah, I heard from a TD that the factory that used make decent Breitlings closed down, now unfortunately there is a lack of market demand for them so they don't put much effort into the build.

I am always curious how others sort/store their collection. By brand? By use (diver/dress/sport/etc )? by color? By emotional state when purchased?

Me- with the exception of my Submariner/SeaDweller box and my Panerai boxes, I'm all over the place.

I've probably committed some sort of sacrilege with 1 or 2 straps however I'm happy with them for now. The Tudor with black dial is Gen, as obviously is the moonswatch. The daytona top right is probably an absolute shitter, but I have had if for about 13 years and still runs smoothly having paid £70 from memory.
The rest I have acquired from this forum either M to M or via a couple of TD's.

Curious how the white faced Tudor compares with your gen?
I was extremely Impressed, I noticed zero difference other than the handstack is slightly bigger if you had them side to side and looked extremely close from side on.

The bracelet fits me perfect as is on rhe rep, on the gen with full links it's a little bigger.. everything looks and feels the same.
