The birth of a gen - or as gen as you can go.

This is the true story of the little breitling that could

enjoy - this is NOT for sale. Comments appreciated. "Fakemaster" I challenge you for the title

Once upon a time.....

Looking great!

What are the specs (other than gen dial and movement)?

 

[shandroid]

You've got my vote smids....

Not sure about funky lume, tbh - but normal lume is watch-porn

 

[Importr]

Looks pretty good! In fact, it looks just like mine! lol

Gen: dial, hands, COSC grade cal 13 (with rotor and gen datewheel), stem(!), gasket, pearl.

gen box/papers..... I'm sure there's somethign else....? :thinking:

funky lume was a spare bezel from an SA just for fun

Hmm what's your spec - I wanna one up you

 

[QinetiQ]

wow this is like 40%-50% gen. all you need now is a case, caseback, bezel, crown and that's it. Rep crystals are awesome anyway. Good work

 

[Importr]

Jeez - my spec is no where near as extreme. I think you've set the bar already! Mine was just gen dial, though i do have another (graphite)BCE with gen b13 & rotor

Yours is probably the only ultra-franken BCE worldwide, so far? The bezel set will finish it off nicely.



..but i wouldn't bother with the Pilot bracelet: the gen Blue Calf strap looks much better and conventional IMHO

haha TY Importr! any ideas were to get a gen bezel; breitling wont give it to me

1,2,3,4 I declare a breitling war!

Anything not gen?

 

[SMIDSY]

lol case? that's it

tbh I dont think anyone can tell this apart from a gen.... I'm pleased with it

if I get a gen case set I will add it but I dont think it's necessary.....

I'm confused lol. So the bezel, caseback, crown and all the rest are gen? Only the case isn't?

 

[Importr]

for the bezel try swisswatchstore

but the complete set of tabs are very difficult to find :/

 

[SMIDSY]

no, no QQ I was responding to:

[kdo2milger]

i AM salivating... :drool:

 

[SMIDSY]

I'll have to do better pics tomorrow... managed to run out of 22mm spring bars :facepalm:

 

[puretime]

nice, bezel also lumed?

 

[SMIDSY]

yes but that is a spare Super Avenger Bezel in the picture just to make it look nice

the BCE doesn't have lume on the bezel..... yet!

 

[Royaldutchman]

Wow! Very Nice to see this! Beautifull watch....
I was just thinking of buying this rep at timeshops, and then i saw your topic. I am actually very amazed that all the gen parts just fit the replica...... Do you modify the parts or do they just fit in exactly? I was wondering if i could just stick a real dial, bezel and caseback on my replica, but i guess my questions have just been anwserd hèhèhe....

Keep up the good work and good luck

 

[pilworx]

yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
