  1. Dear all,

    Due to knowing how well populated this forum is, this makes for an ideal ground for asking kind individuals to spare a moment of their time to take a survey that is of incredible importance for my final year university project.

    It's a simple selection of your choice of voting behaviour, there are only 8 multiple choice questions, that is it.

    Please spare a minute for a fellow enthusiast,

    Take the Survery

    Many Thanks,

    Max

  2. This is a thread into an area not ventured by many people. Most modern manufacturers prefer to stick to automatic movements, so having acquired a 7750 movement, as well as ETA and 21j Autos, the space in the winder is getting limited.

    I have tried to scower my way through the replica kingdom for good quartz reproductions and all that appears to be visible is the knock-off reproductions of automatic reproductions of automatic models.

    The only good quartz reps I have seen are the Indy 500 and the Tag F1. I am looking for a good quartz beater, and looking for any advice.

    I know that Rolex released Quartz models previously, are there any others which are available?

    All the best :)

  3. Following on from having read Pix's and Stephane's reviews of the SOSF, I've had a friend as me get a watch for him and this was very much liked by him. Narikaa had one in stock and was delivered the next day, excellent service!

    I have not taken the packaging off, but the images speak for themselves,

    Dial

    Font as mentioned previous has different size 1884 written, S in Super doesn't have the twist, neither is it as pronounced on the numbers.

    Crown

    The crown looks great, very good polished finish. The quality of the B seems not as good as on the more expensive ETA model though.

    Caseback

    Having compared to the other reviews, I cannot see any difference between them, Same applies to the buckle

    What impressed me more, is the detailed finish of the numbers on the bezel. All the photos did not show them as pronounced, the finish is great.

    The B is not missing

    The reviews have mentioned that the helium valve is not in the middle, as par with the original, the same applies on this model

    What surprised me ever more is the green-ness of the pearl, the lume is very good, maybe it has something to do with that.

    The 15, 30, 45 markers elevated, however don't appear to be 100% straight, attention to details brings out a little spot, but from even 20cm away it would be a hard spot.

    Overall, Narikaa's delivery and service is exceptional, especially with comparisson to the price! Overall score, 7/10 :)
