What Breitling are you wearing today?

Is that gen?? I think the rep blue is a little greenish, right?

Wow I may actually go this route instead of black.. BP factory?

 

[Crabber]

No clue, I picked it up in Shanghai...although most other stuff he had was noob factory now that I think about it (subs, pam318, MontBlanc, Longines and this guy).

Hmmm interesting. Thanks for posting your awesome pic! You have me curious now.

Blue dial is definitely the way to go

Looks like it could be Jf model as the blue is pretty good and better than BP. If you're going black [MENTION=96936]evilpenguin[/MENTION] then BP is the one to have.

In terms of accuracy, isn't BP generally better than JF for these navi worlds?

Yes but the JF blue colour is better. I suspect Crabbers watch will have MOSCOW and NEW YORK spelled MDSCUW and NEW YDRK on the caseback. The black dial BP world is very close to gen and the one I'd recommend. If you want blue then you'll need to weigh up the compromise between BP and JF.

Yeah most likely I'll go black, but I didn't realize there was a somewhat accurate version of the blue. Are there any other glaring inadequacies on the JF vs BP I should be aware of?

 

[andyr]

JF has the wrong spelling as per above, datefont wrong, dw less flush and bezel not as accurately lined up. If only BP could get the blue right!

Thank you for that list! Yeah I think I'll go with black for now until BP can get their act together with the blue. Cheers my friend!

Wait so yours is from BP??

Interesting, not sure whay you've got there C. Colour looks good and spelling correct but positioning of cities on the caseback is out. On the gen London should be at 12 o clock above the wings with the model number at 6 o clock. My 2 BPs and pics on TDs I've looked at also have this but yours doesn't not that its that big a deal just trying to identify it.
Looks a nice piece though hows the DW is it flush?

The wings in the center are held on with gummy cement and can be repositioned...the movement was also serviced by Speedy, so thanks for the tip I will reposition the case back now adjust the wings accordingly. As for DW it's font is wrong and it's a bit sunken like most Breitling reps.

Ah I guess there's the difference. The BP worlds don't have sunken datewheels (not much if any) and have the correct font. Interesting..
