So many great watches in this thread lately. My collection says hi.

First three are gen, next three are Franken. Rest six are lightly modded, mostly on gen straps I think. I wear some custom straps on them sometimes even while I have the gen ones.

Waiting on a few more watches the next days, one franken.

Why the two bumble bees?

Just a Bumblebee addiction. I wear one on XS diver rubber strap for comfort, and the other one on an APBands Prototipo Doppio Buco Yellow Race Strap (with APBands PVD Buckle). I actually have four Bumblebees. A mix up with an order from a TD, plus finding two on the cheap on M2M and buying them for the straps they were on.

Sorry whats the name of the first Breitling (top left) ?

It's a Breitling Superocean Steelfish X-Plus, which is essentially a "rare" old version of the 44mm Superocean. Up to 2006, all Steelfishes were 42mm, but on 2006 they put out an "X-PLUS" version at 44mm. In 2007, they discontinued the 42mm version and renamed the X-Plus version to just "Superocean Steelfish", making a few changes to its specifications and dial lettering, Later the same year, they changed the seconds marker from a red square to an arrow. The X-Plus model essentially run for just a year. The X-Plus version is also FULLY brushed, while the newer version was brushed and polished.

Here is the 42mm version for reference (I own a blue & a black one):

Breitling has actually produced my favourite watches of all time, and by far my favourite is the Breitling B-2 (pictured second in my collection).

Good taste, man!! (About the Bees)

I think the most logical way would be to build a franken and get rid of them all, even though searching for the gen parts would take forever. But the details on these super-reps are so convincing man. 90% perfect out of the box.

Can't really get the rubberclad off my wrist.. Will put a Horusstrap on it and see how it looks! Then its off to get it modded.. almost perfect the way it is, but missing the @aflop magic - which makes it really hard to wear - so will have to pack it over the weekend and send it off to the man with the magic stick :D OCD here we go!

BTW: Did JF do some silent update on the Cyclops? This one looks way better than all other non-modded AP's I owned. More depth gen like effect. Of course still needs to be modded but it looks 'improved' to me.
