However, this watch is BADASS!!
The dial is just incredible, mesmerizing, masculine and moreover macho!!
It just looks so cool all the way around.

First gen Breitling!
Biggest differences between gen and BOTH JF chronomat and GF chronomat:
1) Sub dial spacing - JF and GF are equivalent.
2) Date wheel - JF better.
3) Bezel Font - GF better, JF clicks better font is still great on JF.
4) Sub dial hands - Raised slightly higher on genuine. JF and GF are equivalent.
5) Case back - engraving on gen is much better and besides the date wheel and subdial spacing, this is the biggest tell.. JF has wrong caseback. .’. GF better.
6) satisfying pusher feel/sound - JF hands down “feels/sounds more like gen B01 when pushing, starting/stopping/resetting and snapping back of chronograph..

All in all, it’s a tough call, but, for me, the JF is for sure the better rep... maybe I just got a bogus GF who knows...
Was the gen worth it, relative to the money?? I’ll keep those thoughts to myself...
