Check out that avatar pic....what a watch...and what a photographer..... Eat your heart out TTK....

There is no 'edit' function for my posts here for some reason,so i cant put the pics back up in the first post.... F. imagecave,i bought a photobucket pro account,here is the pics...

I don't get it,i see the pics and my avatar fine...using 6mb of the 10mb allowed at imagecave....

I can see all my pics,are they not showing up for you?....

If you like it,why not?.....i don't get the 'its too big on you' posts....tell them to shove it....

Like with Breitlings web photos,don't assume they look like the GEN..... Certain lighting shades show that grainy look on the rep,etc....pics are hard to go by. As for wrist size,i really don't think that matters much,overall size matters more then the wrist itself,IMO.....if your a 120lb stick man,don't bother,no matter how big your wrist is....other than that,all good.....

Thats the problem with getting use to a SA,Anthony....nothing else will do,size wise.... This one measures up and the quality is there with what both you and I expect,best i have bought thus far.....

No Pams,but they are smaller...i had a fiddy,its slightly smaller....

Size comparison to my SA,about the same,the SA is more heavy though....

I am speechless.... As much as i have thought a few reps i have bought were pretty good,but always some little let down.....i opened up my package from Josh today,the HBB King inside and i am blown away....no other rep even comes close to the quality of this one......all i can say. The feel,finish,Platinum plating,band,clasp,lume....everything,unreal....no t to mention the AR job on these,same as the C1 AR job,i can't explain it..... This watch makes the other HBB's look like crap,and i've bought a few of those,as good as they are,this thing blows them away,just fantastic....my SA is retired to the watchbox for a while now,and i have never been able to find a watch that would get any wrist time over that one.... You get what you pay for IMO,and the price,if the quality is there,is fine with me,a steal....this is my first true keeper,there is no disappointment on this one at all........ Glad i went with the Platinum,what do you guys think?.... This lume shot is right out of a dark box...unreal.

Put a gen rubber strap on that black dial SA and you might feel different about it....makes a big difference and goes really well with that watch,much better then the rep Pro2 on it..... The SA is too big for some,the Skyland too small for me,personal taste,but the rubber tones the SA down a bit and suits it well....

Have bought my wife all the j12's,chopard etc....her fave by far is the Patek 24's....has a couple,very nice ladies watch....

I'm sure price is a factor for some,i just buy what i want,don't think about that part....better then the cost of the gen,good enough for me..... I need a watch i like that is similar in size to my SA,when use to wearing a SA,everything else,like the Skyland,is just too small.....the King should do the trick.....

Yup.

What works for OJ,can work for us all....

The V1 Skyland did well and still is. The Porsche Flat 6 was hyped to death as it was to come out and has been a dud,now completely off radar.

I've owned both,quality wise,similar...correct to the gen,similar.... The C1 AR coating is unmatched in the rep world though,a big edge there....plus its a larger wearing watch,which i prefer,aside from that,its a toss up on your personal taste.

Platinum Big Bang King on the way.... Did i mention how much reps are bugging me?....

jjfesq has an avatar to yank your chain too.....

I did,in the avatar.... Ya,for reps,the Skylands are as good as it gets,if not for being a rep forum member for so long now,i would love the Skyland reps,as good as it gets,but being on the forums makes you so fussy,all of them bother me now.... I still have a mellow yellow HBB arriving tomorrow though,can't help it....

I don`t care if anyone notices it,I notice it.....bothers me. Nobody else like that,there is always something,and it drives me nuts that i know about it and am the person wearing it,hence my lack of interest in buying reps anymore,though nobody will notice the flaw,i do.

Oh well,that put the run to Angus....

Very easy to tell by looking at the lume dots on the gen,bottom left,all of them,the reps are not close.

'cartel'.....this is not drugs.....or is it?..... Price up on that watch,price down on another watch,BUSINESS.....does anyone here beside me run one?.... The Graham Diver went down a hundred bucks....where is the complaint thread about it?..... I just bought a HBB 'mellow yellow' from the 'cartel'....bastards sold me it for only $488....it was around $1100 last year.....man,am i pis sed at the price i just paid.....need to start a thread whining about it.....damn 'cartel'......

V1 and V2....different makers,thats all....some makers will sell to some dealers and not others,and so forth,certain customers,certain product.....the chinese....thats business. Its no conspiracy,though forum drama can lead you to think that,silly stuff,and unfortunate.
