Oops...double post. Sorry.

I had bought a rubber F1 strap off ebay for $135 for my gen F1 non-chrono....so I already had the bracelet to move over to the rep F1 chrono. A quick look over at the bay has a bracelet for $200 - $300. Way over priced in my opinion. You can pick up a gen F1 non-chrono (watch and all) for around $350 at timezone.

I have the previous generation Tag F1 Chrono. I don't know if it was from Trusty or elsewhere since I got it from the trade section. Anyway, I put a gen bracelet on it and it looks great. I don't think anyone would like it was a rep. It isn't perfect but close enough for me. Here is a pic from Trusty for reference:

I don't think anyone has tried it, maybe I just don't know. Anyway, I do know that a gen F1 bracelet will fit a rep F1. I have one of each and have verified that. Now if you want to send me your Auqaracer bracelet I will be glad to give the fitment a try on my Auqaracer rep.

Thanks Ken. I didn't think about it that way. Makes sense.

Oh... I was kind of thinking it would be member submitted posts. Kind of like what we see in all of the current sub-forums when Josh/Andrew/Angus, etc put something new on their sites. There is always the post saying "Wow! Look what Josh just put up." I might not be workable...I was just looking for something to cut down on the browsing and the chances of missing the new/hot item. -- m4rcus

What do you guys think about having a sub-forum dedicated to New Releases? Somewhere that is not brand specific and just showcases the latest and greatest reps? Just a thought I had while browsing the sub-forums. It seems that I always end up on a few of the brands and miss out on the latest things on other brands. I put up a poll. It might be a good idea or a lame brain one. Anyway...Happy New Year everyone! -- m4rcus

OK...Color me stupid, but that worked for my Tag and Daytona reps...but not for the Swiss Army. I guess it is fubar. Thanks guys! I appreciate the help.

Hmm....I'll have to look into that tonight. Thanks for the tip.

As the title says...I think I'm officially done with Chronographs. I have always been attracted to chronographs and the rep gods have been kind by supplying a seamlessly never ending supply of new chronographs to chose from. Unfortunately, I have had trouble/problems with everyone I have bought...even the quartz specimens. Here is my list of problem children: Swiss Army Officer's 1884 - quartz - center second hand will not move or reset. It stays paralyzed around the 7 o'clock marker IWC Proto Rep - A7750 - When I bought it I didn't know this one was going to be a problem. I guess I didn't do enough research. Then the second at 6 issues arose -- now dead Tag Aquaracer rep - A7750 - usually works as advertised, but sub dial at 6 o'clock doesn't reset at times, sometimes it does Tag Formula 1 rep - quartz - center second chrono hand doesn't reset to zero Breitling Skyland rep - A7750 - center second hand quit resetting to zero and eventually popped off the post. I used the bonding compound as instructed by many helpful posts, but that only lasted for a few weeks...it popped off again. I replaced it with a hand from another watch. So, it looks like crap, but works now (anyone have a Skyland center second hand they want to get rid of??? PM me!) Daytona rep - quartz - I found a non-branded Daytona rep on ebay. Of course I thought I wouldn't have problems...since it is a Myota quartz. Wrong. Same thing as the Tag Formaula 1. The center second hand won't reset to zero. So there you have it. About 2 - 3 years of chronos that I have had problems with. As anyone else had these experiences or I'm I just the one unlucky SOB?

I really hope they come out with this one. I saw it at the AD when I was purchasing my SuperOcean and would have gotten it but for the price. Anyway, I think I'm done with Chronographs...I've had problems with everyone I've purchased (even the quartz ones).

Its a gen. My splurge last year after getting a promotion. The SuperOcean was this year's splurge and wedding present from my new wife. I couldn't pass up the 0% interest at my favorite jeweler. Great watch at half the price of a sub.

I've been wearing this all week to work... and will probably wear this off and on Saturday and Sunday... with this thrown in for good measure... Please excuse the extremely old picture, but that is the only wrist shot I have.

Looks like you hit it on the nose. A Mutantfish SuperOcean.

Yep, the bezel is wrong. The case back is wrong too. It has 2000M when the dial has 1500M. It looks like the dial dots at each numeral are too big when compared to the gen. The numerals seem to be off too. Notice how the gen has a "3D" effect...here is a crappy pic of my gen:
