T-MAN

While I do take your point... It is as plaifender says again, he tried to justify his story only for that model whereas it is across the board for all Panerai watches... OK.... here's a funny one to follow this up.. and since you asked... True story... This baby below was mine until the Mrs decided to bring into the world a package deal of twins... Notice the 'not in the Ferrari spirit' colour... Ferrari are proud to call it 'Tour de France Blue'. So I guess the colour really spoiled my experience of owning the car somehow. I don't know what the permanent silly grin on my face represented though everytime I saw it or sat in it. Anyhow... This one is not a rep!! .... Oh...and there is a road.. The car is not on the sand... It was just shot from a low angle on purpose to make the road 'disappear'. Hope you like it.

Thanks for this great info. I stand corrected. Well at least my single AR venture then will be similar to the gen. Even though it is a single AR it seemed really light at the AD that I didn't notice it at all and the store lights were reflecting on the crystal badly. Plaifender, i wish people as knowledgable as you were employed at ADs. Anyhow. I can't resist anymore. I must tell you all what the AD rep told me as an attempt to justify that there is (allegedly) 'no' AR on the Ferrari: 'Well, no, they don't come with Antireflective coating as it tends to make the crystal blue in color and this would not go well with the Ferrari spirit of red or yellow. The watch is trying to replicate a dash from their cars and their dashes don't have blue tints so it would spoil the experience'!!!!!!!!! Imagine me trying to not laugh and look all serious because I was a 'potential serious buyer'!

Did this project die or was it moved to a different thread?

Quick Update... I received the watch and it's fantastic... I love it... I see what you mean by the AR. But I popped into an AD to see the real deal and it doesn't have AR on it either... It was actually pretty bad that when I asked the AD, he was trying to justify why it didn't have it and it was a lot of rubbish coming out of his mouth.. But the bottom line is that the gen has no AR. So this rep really is spot on in every way (bar the lume). I still see the advantage in getting an AR coating though, so I will opt for an inside single layer AR coat so that it is more subtle and not so much a departure from the gen. @jchurch... I love the strap with yellow stitching... I am probably 90% towards pulling the trigger on it. Thanks everyone for the comments. If you have anymore strap ideas, I'd love to see them.

How about the 1815 classic? Does anyone have this? How is the quality and how does it compare to the gen? How does it compare to the IWC FA Jones as they seem similar? http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=6403 The gen is on the left below.. The rep on the right... doesn't seem very far off...

Wow this amazing occasion must be so exciting... A lifetime and intimate relationship...I am sure you can't wait and it is a moment you have been thinking about for a very long time... I am so happy for you. Oh and congrats for getting married too!

Congrats!!! Now here is lesson 1 from a seasoned husband: 1. You shall wear the watch that she likes/chooses

Where did you get that from? I can only find it in stainless steel...

I love the Frank Muller... I actually ordered it from Andrew and when he showed me the QC pics I realised how big this beast actually is and asked him to change it to something else (which he didn't have to do but did)... I think it would be too big for my small wrists... How big does it wear and do you have a picture of the FM side by side to the FA Jones? From the two photos above they don't seem to be that different in size but my impression is that the FM is much bigger. Also how is the FA Jones in Rose Gold? How are the numberings in Rose Gold? Are they painted on or are they risen? Is the version you got with the synthetic sapphire crystal or real sappire with AR... I see that there are two versions around.. Thanks for all your replies... Please keep them coming...

Thanks.. Your link didn't work, but I googled J B Weld anyway and found out info on it. Will try it and post how it goes.. Hope it works on titanium too. Thanks again

I know this is apparently a common problem and after 18 months of wearing my favourite watch, the titanium bracelet has given way. As they do not make the AMG rep with a titanium bracelet anymore (only nylon), what can I do to rectify this situation? (please don't say get a nylon strap!!) Thanks... Here are pics of the problem (taken with my iphone so excuse the quality and colour

Andrew... and may I add, he's been amazing to deal with.

Hi... I recently got these QC pics... I have already spoken to the dealer about the screws in the bezel and the holes... Do you think there is anything else that needs addressing? Thanks

Thanks... This does look nice... One thing I noticed though is compared to the gen, the markers on the dial seem a bit to 'bold'/big... Is this true or is it just the picture?

Wow... I like them all too... How close is this Vacheron Constantin to the gen?

I'm looking for an 'accurate' rep of a dress watch in rose gold and preferably a light colored dial (all my other dials are dark). I would Probably stick it on a brown leather strap. My wrist size is small so I don't want a huge chunky watch. Ideas/photos?? Thanks!!

Very nice!! Where did you get that from if you don't mind me asking. I saw a gen at an AD not too long ago. The gens have hardly (if any) AR on them. Are you ok with getting it AR'd and moving away from replicating the accuracy of the gen?

Thanks. Any particular strap recommendations and from who?

Thanks for your replies. I too wasn't sure about the pusher buttons and Andrew sent me another photo with them screwed in. So it seems that all systems are go. I can't wait to have it on my wrist!!

Hi everyone. Long time lurker, still new at posting. I have ordered a couple of watches from Andrew and one of them is the Top Gun V2 Ceramic. Andrew has been great in his quick responses and has sent me these QC pics. Can you please comment if you see anything that should be 'better'? Thanks!

I'm interested to know the answer too. Also the Ingenieur AMG titanium with titanium bracelet also seems to be sold out if there is any info on that one too please! I hope I'm not hijacking the thread. I still want to know info on the GST too!
