I read somewhere that Staib is the OEM maker of the mesh bracelet for Breitling and a couple others. I tried a cheap mesh before seeking out a Staib.
You can find them on ebay and I ended up buying one at Island Watch (prob not a TD) for about $190. Once I got it in my hands, I do believe it is gen production and quality. I love it and it is awesome quality, no matter where you buy it. Adds a different pop and get comments on it.

This rep is discontinued, isn't it? I still find some from GF factory in some TD.

I thin replica has few problems . Little ”swirls” on sapphire, but you can see it only in direct sunlight and only from few angles. Second problem is distance of date window from 6 index…

Obviously late to the party, but this is still a fantastic watch and thought I'd share my gen vs my rep.

The main difference for me it's the lume. The rep lume is very very weak by now.

Judge the pics

I assumed it was because the BLSF I believe doesn't have the serial number/model between the lugs whereas GF had it (yours does and so does mine). I was hoping BLSF had it so I could get a green one!

BLSF has datewheel too high as well.
Unfortunately it has some flaws.

Do you know if GF made the green version? I haven't been able to find one in old posts.

I don't think they had the green version. I've only seen black, blue and white. I could be wrong though.
