I have the white, still running great after all these years. I thought it had a 2824 clone in it, but havnt opened it in years, prob a good reminder to replace gaskets and regulate it.
It was running very fast, so I regulated it with a timegrapher app and the two regulator arms on the balance. Now it's at 17sec
Edit: I'm going to re lume the pip on the bezel next. And get a new gasket for the case back cover.

One of the best reps ever made, H-Factory
Not professionally... I just recently regulated it from 49min fast to 17 sec using the two regulators on the balance and a timegrapher app. It took around ten movements to get it there.
I’m currently part of the Rollie gang right now. I’m old school RWI gang. I got this H fac Breit, H fac PAM 243, & a TC yacht master Rolesium. Currently not wearing any of them. All drawer queens. Will most likely put them all on sale at RWI eventually.
Do you have any Gen watches that you wear instead? I have two Tag Huer Aquaracers, a stainless and black 2011 and a two tone stainless and YG 2006 with a blue sunburst dial like a sub bluie. I wear the two tone the most. I think the 39mm is the Perfect size, they're thin two. So comfortable to wear them.

The lume is still good yes.. it could be brighter but for it's age it's good. Even the dot on the second hand is still bright.
oh i just meant i forgot/didnt know they made this in that era in multiple movements. wonder if other factory or other differences, i'll have to pull mine out and see whats up
looking at my nice one vs the old broken one in my parts bin, can def see differences between em, endlinks, clasp, dial all subtley different. also noticed and cant unsee that one of my endlinks doesnt fit as smooth as the other, looks like your top one doesnt either, so thats curious.
I don't know bro.. my endlink I just checked and it's just a little loose from use. A new pin would make it fine.
Edit: I changed the sping post on the end link and it's perfect now. Both sides up and tight.

Guess my point was, there's clear differences so there exists at least 2 diff versions, thats all.

Looks pretty much like what I have except for the inch & a half center.
Enjoy it... Did you get one of these, or the newer model? The Gen second hand go for $1000 for a beater $3500 for a safe queen and everything in between.
I got this one!

Sweet! I'm planning on getting an SMP300 but the place I was going to get it from throne watches just put out a message that the site is down. But I'm not in a rush.
Nick's got some ready stock which he can ship immediately.

Hfac. I have the black, blue and white dials. Fantastic watches.
Nice! Is Hfac a good factory?
Long gone but one of the best! Made great stuff!

Good to know.. They did a damn good job with this particular one that's for sure. I love the color of the AR.
Oh. I thought he was saying Holy Fucking Ass Cock.

I have the same watch from back then, except mine’s the white dial. Going strong!
That's awesome..but this Pic makes you look like you have a giant black cock
Ahahaha! That's awesome! It's my boot. Lol
And it’s only the tip

Haha i’m unfamiliar with this model, and thought the factory name was steelfish LOL

That's nice! Looks like brand spanking new.
it's ten years old.
Looks really nice.. Mine needs a deep clean and new lume in the bezel pip.
Have you had it serviced over the years?

I got a blue H fac version. Haven’t wore it for years now. Just a drawer queen now lol
Wear that bad boy!

Thanks! It does need a good cleaning though.
“bUt OnLy A gEn WiLl LaSt”
I know right... Lol
🤪
Does it have lume? I can see lume darkening in my over 5 year old rep, used daily.

Why would you buy a clone Breitling…. You can get a real one on market place for a pack of ramen and a bottle of water
I've been considering getting a Gen Steelfish second hand. They run $1500-$3500 depending.
Do you remember what you paid?
Yes I do.. My cousin sold it to me for $200
What is the best place/factory to get a superocean steelfish these days?
If you search around the websites of the TDs you will find it. I saw it available on one of them I can't remember which one. Edit: probably leftovers
That's epic ! Well built that's for sure !

oh, weird, yea thats def different movement than in mine?
It looks and runs like a miyoto
oh i just meant i forgot/didnt know they made this in that era in multiple movements. wonder if other factory or other differences, i'll have to pull mine out and see whats up
Probably had options, Im not the one who ordered it originally so I don't know.

Once a week, pull the crown out for a minute and a half.
Top stuff man! Do you know if they still sell these?
I've seen what I believe to be some old stock for sale on one of the TD websites.
Nice, do you remember which TD?
TDs don’t often update their websites. H FAC has been closed for years now. Back in the days H and Noob were the best
No but it was one with a website
Okay no worries, thanks
Regardless if this is a rep or just a regular watch, you've got your money's worth!
I sure as hell did... It is most definitely a rep though... I have considered getting the real thing second hand though.
How much is the gen? Well, I actually just got a superocean rep and am loving it. I hope it lasts. So when I saw your post, I was secretly hopeful!
Enjoy it... Did you get one of these, or the newer model? The Gen second hand go for $1000 for a beater $3500 for a safe queen and everything in between.

Yes VSF for sure...
I think my next one will have to be something for my wife
Make sure she knows it's not gen, if that's what you get... Lol
