I'm not usually a Breitling fan, but I was at the dealer the other day and saw this and really liked it.

Whats the verdict on the rep version? Nice? I don't necessarily care bout minor printing issues, but the one at the dealer had a really nice presence about it. Is the REP version nice??

Never heard of OXF. Why didn't you get BLS? At the moment, they are the best. I have a GF SOH2 and absolutely love it. It's amazing.

Because the factory names are all jibberish to me. I've never heard of OXF either, Though I've also never heard of GF, let alone know which one is better! Even If I did, I wouldn't know where to order.

I'm not the pickiest, so hopefully this one is nice!

Please let us know how it is. Never heard of OXF but I'm curious. OXF/GF/BLSF etc are the factory names.

OXF - can be hit and miss depending on QC
GF - As Gen as it gets, so much so a few years back I sold my Gen SOHII 46mm as I had the GF 42mm it was that good
BLS - again can be hit and miss depending on QC

But all depends on your comfort level in flaws

How would you compare the mesh bracelet if the GF to the gen? The GF mesh isn't bad at all. I was expecting it to be terrible considering it's a rep but it's pretty decent. I assume the gen is just smoother/better. I only had the opportunity to try the SOH2 with a rubber bracelet and that was pretty good!

That makes me happy. I have a GF and I think it is shocking how nice it is! It's got all the details right. Even the current BLSF has some flaws, like the model/serial missing between the lugs.

Well, Hopefully I get a good one!

I'd say I'd post it here once I get it, but I'm kinda nervous about doing so. Whether "perfect" or not, I'll probably be pretty happy with it, unaware of any "flaws". I'm not sure I want you guys to point out all the reasons I shouldn't be happy with it!

Just kidding, I'll post it here anyway, lol

this finally got here. I have no complaints (Except maybe I wish I had one more bracelet link - it fits, but its close)
