I pulled the trigger on the 111 on the 16th but mine didn't make it for Christmas.... can't wait to see it though. All these pics make me jealous! sent from my HTC Evo via Tapatalk

Sounds like I am going to go ahead and pick one a 111J. I read in a couple other threads that we will get maybe a little better price or it is easier if we just email one of our dealers thru the forum versus going thru their websites. Any advice on who to work with? not sure if you can give suggestions on that stuff......but let me know either way

Fair enough, then without saying too much, in your opinion.....would you say these newer models would be worth waiting for?

I have a chrono right now that I have worn for the last few years pretty much every day, so not really looking for another one at this time. The ones that are coming out....what models are they going to be? and what $$$ range are they going to be in?

No, I don't "need" a GMT function, but does anybody really need a chronograph/GMT/power reserve.....it just looks cool . But the 111 is very good looking as well. Love the sandwich dial. Right now I have a gen Tag Aquaracer chrono that I have had for about 4 years. I wear it pretty much every day and I love it, but time to add to the collection. After seeing how great these reps are, I doubt I would ever pay for a gen again unless I come across some stupid money. But anyway, I kind of had a feeling that the 111 would be a better "bang for the buck". I will just have to get both eventually.

So I will start of by saying thank you to everyone on this forum for the vast amount of knowledge I have collected doing my homework on this forum for the last couple weeks. This is going to be my first real rep purchase other than some crap I bought on vacation in Mexico a long time ago. I was pretty much set on an 88 and I was going to pick one up from one of our trusted dealers in the $200-250 range (don't have $400+ for an ultimate version). Now this new 111J is out that everyone is talking about and it seems to be a much better value for something in that same price range. I really like the look of the 88, but the 111 isn't ugly by any means. I would be just as happy wearing either on my wrist. Which do you think is a better value at this point? Also, one noob questions, is the "ultimate" version of the 88 worth the $400+ from one of the dealers....seems like I could have one built by someone like DSN for the same price.....
