Good news - I just got a PM from Crippler on repgeek saying not to worry he will sort it all out.

Man - I am reliefed that it might be false alarm afert all.

Bryan Pannel (aka BASE) was acting similar to this. (veterans here Iam sure they remember BASE)

Dont trust untill you see thinks resolved.

Recently a member JB had for selling one of the newer versions of the IWC 3717.

The AR on the item (was untreated) and

Ebel 1911 Discovery automatic chronograph. 43mm x 14mm case.

2,399 USD on TZ.

Great watch.

None of the trusted dealers is selling any Autavias

If you find any on the open rep marke will be bad reps any way

Dont know about the Monaco.

I will suggest ask Narikaa for both.

What ???? Is BASE back again

(...just kidding)

Panda by far .... for me any way.

It is a double AR....Just ask Chieftang as he had to remove mine

It is just not very good AR

So are we conclude that the SS version uses a head with a better AR version than the one with the rubber band ???

Hard to say from the pics seen around from both ... but it seems to me that the SS has a better AR version.

Guys,

Would be correct to assume that both the rubber and SS band watches, as the come from the factories, are using exactly the same "head" and therefore the AR is exactly the same on both versions ????

.... or the SS band is using an improved "head" ????

Hey Usil ,

Is the pic showing the actual watch you got from Silix ???

If yes , how is tha AR on

.... I would like to add some more of my thoughts regarding this topic.

1) Not anybody can correctly review a watch.

- Gen to rep carefull comparison is required.

- Mechanics (movement) of the watch should be reviewed too.

- The rep should also be compared with other reps too (such as this has better or worse AR , the band , the clasp on this is better than the other)., etc....

I do however belive that the reviewer should be rewarded for their time and effort in writing and photographing the watch.

I agree.

A free RWG VIP membership will not be enough ???

Very clever move from

Friend sent me some money.

Subject

"Columbian drug money"

Nothing happened. They understand at least a BIT fun

No joke!

Nice .... and good prices too.

Stunning watch and burgain price.

.... but how do you know that is SHE ????

US to Spain via UPS, DHL, etc... is a bad combo.

Customs will stop it. No matter how you flag it , Gift, used , etc.... they will ask taxes.

Use Pug's advise. is the only way.

Not bad.

Is that 42 mm ??

Specs of the Genuine:

"In 2007 Breitling introduced the latest evolution of its Superocean - the Superocean Heritage diver's watch. The initial Breitling Superocean was released back in 1957. It represented a diver's watch housed in a monohull case and provided with armored glass that guaranteed 200-meter water resistance, a real technical accomplishment at that time.

The Breitling Superocean was developed specially for professional and military divers, including special troops. The Breitling watch model soon became highly demanded among those who enjoyed leisure diving. Over time, the Breitling watch company has enriched this iconic watch line with innovative models. The line presently comprises simple as well as chronograph versions of the Breitling Superocean characterized by 500-meter, 1,500-meter and even 2,000-meter water resistance.

Every new generation of Breitling Superocean watch models feature improved technical characteristics and are praised for supreme functionality and readability.

You will find the new Breitling Superocean Heritage available in two case diameters - 38 and 46 mm. The case of the Breitling watch boasts 200-meter water-resistance. The timepiece has been created to offer maximum sturdiness, functionality and reliability to become a perfect timekeeping companion for adventures in the depths of the sea. The big-sized hands together with the triangular-shaped hour hand are meant to offer easy and precise time-reading even under reduced light conditions.

The hands and hour-markers are covered by luminescent coating to provide superb visibility when the wearer of the Breitling watch finds himself in the dim light at great sea depths. The domed sapphire crystal is glare-proof on both sides. The unidirectional rotating bezel incorporates a 120-tooth system. The brand's watchmakers opted for the bezel's fluted profile, and the over-sized crown to simplify handling.

In the heart of the the Breitling Superocean Heritage there operates a mechanical self-winding movement operating at a frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour, with precision guaranteed by the COSC chronometer-certification.

The Superocean Heritage offers the choice between two new originally-designed straps. The first version of the strap is represented by the Ocean Classic woven steel bracelet . It is based upon the unusual aesthetic appeal of the initial Superocean model. The strap creates a distinctive contrast with the plain surfaces of the watch's dial and bezel. The bracelet special for its elegance and comfort of wearing, is provided with a folding clasp for easy handling. With help of the new screw system the wearer of the Breitling watch can make it shorter or longer if it is necessary.

The Ocean Racer rubber strap features circular perforations that remind racing straps of the 1960s. Accompanied by the strap, Breitling Superocean Heritage acquires a special sporty charm. The Ocean Racer rubber strap has been created in three color variations to match the colors of the dial and bezel – blue, bronze and black.

The strap is provided with a newly developed folding clasp with lateral pushbuttons providing utmost comfort and security. The Ocean Racer strap is also equipped with an exclusive extension system for improving the comfort of wearing. It allows the watch's wearer to loosen the strap a few millimeters, when for example it is really hot."

.... its just a question of luck and good hunting.

Street prices are about 450 - 500 USD.

I dont find them big at all.

Pams are/look bigger.

Hamilton are good watches but not expensive enough to be repped.

The one shown can be found from 200 USD to 400 Usd.

Watches are like clothes ... personal thing and very subjective.

I personally like the Oris Divers only.

More than a Tag Monaco ... I want to see a decent AUTAVIA
