Great review; thank you.

Nice one...sounds awesome.

I'm heading off there in '07 as part of my Round the World trip...will definitely be playing poker and it would be rude not to get in the watch stores!

Any must-sees you can think of?

Jon

I actually went to Oktoberfest this year...no breasts that big i can tell you...but on the plus side the beer steins were much bigger

Jon

Looks like the sun dial is deflated.

lol

mmmmmm...very nice!

Jon

Got it from Paul in 4 days. Ordered on Sunday and received on Thursday. Guys, this one is very VERY nice. . The clasp closes a little wacky, but nothing some good elbow grease couldn't fix. Gonna get some genuine hands and perhaps the genuine clasp.

Nice one mate, great watch.

Hows the logo position...is it touching the text or just above?

Cheers,

Jon

Haha nice one JTB...classics!

Hey

Welcome aboard

Jon

Hey Mak,

Welcome to the forum

Jon

I know that this question might be asked a thousand but I still gonna ask it again….

Hi Manu,

Unfortuantely this question has been asked countless times...and it basically comes across as the person trying to get other people to do their research for them.

Thats why you got less than welcome replies...people wanna see you actively research your chosen rep, then after awhile come back and ask some insightful questions.

Have a look here

as a start, then maybe look at some of the reviews in the "Dealer Review" section, then check out some of the photos in the Rolex section.

There should be plenty to keep you busy!

Jon

The more I see the Planet Ocean, the more I like it, but I'm hanging on just a little longer as well!

K.

As m1ke said, the more of us that wait and voice our concern over the logo issue, the quicker they will bring out another gen...hopefully!

Jon

Welcome to the forum Helmut

Glad to have you on board...have fun!

Jon

Happy Birthday Slay...hope you have a great day

:sorcerer:

Jon

Great pics cwai Really like the 'outdoors shot'

Jon

yeah 10% off the actual price of the watch. So hey....i am comtemplating getting one of these now, such an unbalance though, if i buy it, it would be 6 omegas with one rolex.

hmmm.....

Haha you know what that means...you would have to get a new Rolex aswel!!

I am thinking about this...but i think im gonna hang on until the logo is (hopefully) fixed...also Paul told me he is trying to get the black one, should have it soon.

Jon

where i could buy a decent panerai replica.

Just have a look in our dealer section...plenty of great dealers for you to look at.

Jon

Great comparison Pugwash

As a newbie I was wondering if reps get revised from time to time. Obviously some of the more popular ones-rolex, omega, pam, just keep improving. But what about the others. For example fa jones, as I understand it very accurate front, but ofcourse back is generic. If one waits what is the chance that this will improve? Now perhaps this isn't a fair question as the fa jones back is quite unique. But it seems many reps, even those that are very accurate have flaws, wrong hands, wrong markings on subdial etc. In your experience do the reps improve over time? And I guess a related question. How long do reps stay in production? Bottom line, if I think I like a watch but would like some portion of it to be more accurate, should I buy it now, because it may not be available later or should I just wait for the next model to come out?

Its a hard question to answer.

Demand for a certain rep means that it will hopefully go through several generations (think Omega Planet Ocean)...however if too many people are jumping on the 4th gen then it will take longer for them to bring out the 5th gen (because in the manufacturers eyes there is no need...they are making lots of money).

However if you take for example the Omega 'Bond' SMP, this rep was amazing a while ago...however the factory that made it apparently closed, and so we now have a worse rep on offer.

You must think of it like this...if you can live with the flaws with a certain generation, then just go for it and enjoy it. Otherwise it could be a never-ending search for the 'perfect' rep.

Hope that helps,

Jon

Should be 10% off the total cost if I recall correct...

Hmm...thats pretty good then...about $170 shipped.

Jon

I believe Paul helps to offset that fee by discounting 10%.

Is that 10% off the total cost of the watch...or 10% off the WU fees?

Jon

I imagine quite a few of us are, but don't give in! If we all buy a 4th gen, they'll have no reason to make a 5th

Very true sir!

I will now sit on my hands for a month

Jon

Just saw it on his site... anybody else noticed it? It is like so much cheaper than the other dealer's. Any thoughts?

I'v heard its identical to the 4th gen from Andrew...ie AR coating, Planet Ocean on clasp, etc, but also the logo position problem.

At that price it seems pretty amazing...lots of people still waiting for the logo fix though.

Jon

Great price, but I'm still holding out until the logo position gets fixed...

Yeh true...but im feeling impatient.

I sent off an email to see when Aspire are getting the black version in stock.

Jon
